An Urgent and Primary Care Centre (UPCC) is the place you can go to get same-day care for urgent and non-life-threatening health concerns. For life-threatening health concerns, call 9-1-1 or go the emergency department.

Due to high patient volumes, we may stop accepting new patients prior to closing.

Your family doctor or nurse practitioner knows your health-care needs the best, but if you can’t see them, visit a UPCC for same-day, urgent care for non-life-threatening health concerns.

Patients who require medical attention within 12 to 24 hours can receive care at UPCCs for conditions such as:

  • High fevers
  • Sprains and strains caused by minor accidents and falls
  • Minor bleeding or cuts that require stitches
  • Minor burns that may require care
  • Mild to moderate breathing difficulty or asthma attacks
  • Sinus, oral or lung infections
  • Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea or constipation
  • Skin conditions such as rashes or infections
  • Minor allergic reactions
  • Pain or burning when urinating
  • Non-severe new or worsening pain
  • New or worsening mental health concerns

This list is not exhaustive, and whether a UPCC is appropriate will depend on your specific situation.
