Health professional talking to patient in an exam room.

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.

When to visit a UPCC

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.

Visit a UPCC for:

  • Sprains and strains
  •  Cuts, wounds or skin conditions
  •  High fever
  • Nausea, diarrhea and constipation
  • New or worsening pain
  • Mental health concerns such as low mood, anxiety and depression
