The PRHC is going to be shutting down its COVID, Cold and Flu Clinic effective next week.
Staff say the move is due to declining patient volumes and a shift from acute crisis management to an integrated chronic approach to treating COVID-19.
PRHC’s COVID-19 Assessment Centre opened in April 2020 to respond to the community need for COVID19 assessment and testing. Since then, it has provided safe and timely access to PCR testing, clinical assessments by nurses, paramedics and physicians, and treatment for COVID-19.
Chief of Staff and incoming President & CEO, Dr. Lynn Mikula, says thank you to everyone who has been involved in the clinics success – including every physician and staff member who stepped forward to provide their service and support at a very challenging and uncertain time.
The Assessment Centre will remain open through to March 31st.
