Urgent and Primary Care Centres

Is this an emergency?

For life-threatening illnesses or injuries, including symptoms of a heart attack, call 9-1-1 or go to your nearest emergency room right away.

Urgent and primary care centres (UPCCs) provide access to same-day, urgent, non-emergency health care. UPCCs are often open evenings, weekends and statutory holidays (actual hours vary by clinic). UPCCs are an alternative to visiting the hospital for issues that don’t require emergency care.
