REACH Urgent and Primary Care Centre (UPCC)

?There are now more options for same-day care for non-life-threatening conditions if your family doctor or health care provider isn't available. Visit the REACH UPCC if you are experiencing:

  • Sprains and strains
  • Cuts, wounds or skin conditions
  • High fever
  • Infections, including chest, ear and urinary tract
  • Asthma attacks
  • New or worsening pain
  • Dehydration/constipation
  • Less serious child illness and injury

Labs and x-ray are available onsite.


UPCCs are NOT Emergency Departments

For life-threatening illnesses or injuries, call 911 or go the Emergency Department to be assessed and treated immediately.

For health concerns, call your family doctor or health care provider first. Same-day urgent appointments are often available.

The UPCC is not intended to replace family doctors or care providers as a person's first point of contact for health concerns, nor will it replace Emergency Departments for life-threatening illnesses or injuries. Rather, it is intended to be an additional service in the community, working in conjunction with all touch points for care to provide appropriate urgent services to patients, when and where they need it.

Open evenings and weekends, seven days a week all year long, the UPCC will see patients according to urgency.
