King Campus Urgent Care Centre resumes regular hours
Starting Wednesday, February 9, St. Joe’s Urgent Care Centre, King Campus is resuming its regular hours from 8am – 10pm daily.
We thank our community for its understanding during the temporary reduction in hours, which allowed us to redeploy urgently needed healthcare professionals to other high demand areas of the hospital. St. Joe’s is committed to maintaining essential services to our community and while the Omicron variant spread stabilizes, demand for hospital services continues to be high. We will continue to proactively take steps to reduce the impact on patient care, following provincial direction.
Our Virtual Urgent Care service remains available from 12pm – 6pm, Monday – Friday at www.urgentcareontario.ca.
