Accessing the Care You Need:

Your Guide to Concordia Hospital’s Extended Hours Clinic

We know that your health and the health of your family are important. That’s why we want to ensure that you have convenient access to services and answers to your health concerns.

Illness or injury doesn’t adhere to a 9 to 5 schedule. The Extended Hours Primary Care Clinic (EHPCC) at Concordia Hospital is your solution for swift, accessible, and top-notch care for minor health issues beyond regular clinic hours.

EHPCC is ideal for anyone with pressing medical concerns when their family doctor or health care provider is unavailable. It is also ideal for anyone who may not have a family doctor. EHPCC is open in the evenings, on weekends, and even on holidays.

The clinic works like your family doctor’s or health care provider’s office. You’ll see doctors, nurses or other healthcare providers who can treat things like:

  • Headaches, earaches, back pain
  • Rashes or skin ailments
  • Sore throat, cough, fever
  • Nose bleeds
  • Sore eyes with redness or infection
  • Diarrhea and vomiting or indigestion
  • Urinary tract infections
  • Frostbite
  • Joint swelling
  • Breastfeeding issues
  • Sexually transmitted diseases and testing
  • Ongoing management of chronic conditions such as asthma or diabetes

When are the clinics open?

  • Weekdays (M-F): 5:30 pm to 11:30 pm.
  • Weekends (Sat-Sun): 1:30 pm to 11:30 pm.
  • Holidays: 5:30 pm to 11:30 pm. Hours are subject to change.

Your family physician is familiar with you and your medical history, which is important when providing care. While your family doctor should remain your first point of contact, Extended-Hours Primary Care Clinics are an excellent way to supplement that care, giving you an option if your family doctor is unavailable for a period or cannot be seen during regular clinic hours.

All care provided by Extended Hours Primary Care Clinics will be shared with your family doctor if any follow-up is required, which is ideal for patients managing chronic conditions such as diabetes or asthma.
