High Prairie Health Complex outpatient hours change

HIGH PRAIRIE – Beginning May 4, hours of service at the High Prairie Health Complex outpatient department will change from 7 a.m.-11 p.m. to 7 a.m.-3 p.m., Monday to Friday.

The change in hours will enable Alberta Health Services (AHS) to better align staffing and resources for outpatient services during the busiest hours of the day.

The new hours of service reflect the time most patients are visiting the outpatient department, helping ensure the care team is available when demand is highest.

Patients with care needs after 3 p.m. can still access the emergency department 24/7 for urgent concerns.

Alberta Health Services provides acute care services for more than five million Albertans at hospitals, urgent care centres, and health centres across the province. Our mission is to provide excellent and accessible patient-focused healthcare for all Albertans. Our current focus is on reducing emergency department wait times, increasing access to surgeries and improving patient flow.
