IN ORDER TO ADHERE TO PHYSICAL DISTANCING MEASURES, PATIENTS ARE ADVISED TO SCHEDULE APPOINTMENTS.

As the Ministry of Health and Wellness continues to control the spread of COVID-19, the Community Health Nursing Service informs the public that all clinics, except doctor’s clinic at the various community wellness centres, will be conducted only by scheduled appointments.

In order to adhere to the physical distancing measures, persons are asked to call or visit their respective wellness centre to make an appointment. Doctor’s clinics at the various wellness centres will be available on scheduled days from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Therefore, persons are advised to avoid all coming in the morning unless there is an emergency. Instead, patients should visit the doctor throughout that day.

In addition, the Eye Clinic will resume at the Owen King EU Hospital on June 12, 2020 by APPOINTMENTS ONLY. Clients are asked to wait for a telephone call that will indicate when they should visit for their eye check. Persons are asked not to visit the hospital unless they have an appointment.

All persons coming in to conduct business at the various community wellness centres must wear masks and adhere to the rules of physical distancing. Before entering the facility, hands will be sanitized with an alcohol-based solution.
