Urgent care centre in Regina opening in July [Video]

The first urgent care centre in Saskatchewan will be opening in Regina on July 2, according to the Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA).

Located at 1320 Albert Street, the urgent care centre is meant to be used as an alternative to emergency rooms for non-life-threatening illnesses, injuries and mental health supports that require immediate treatment.

“The Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) is taking a phased approach to operating the UCC, with the facility accepting patients seven-days-a-week from 8:00 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. beginning July 2. During this initial phase, care teams will ensure those seeking care towards the end of the scheduled hours will have time for treatment and tests to meet patient needs,” an SHA news release said.
