Closures have become a regular problem at the O'Leary Health Centre. (CBC)The O'Leary health centre walk-in clinic will be closed Thursday and on Saturday because of a shortage of doctors to run it.
It will still be open Friday, and ambulatory services at the health centre will continue on all days as scheduled. Anyone needing care should visit their family physician's office or a walk-in clinic.
Anyone with urgent needs should call 911 or seek immediate medical care at the nearest hospital emergency department.
Staff shortage at the centre have led to regular closures over the last six months.
