Prairie Mountain Health is opening more respiratory clinics in the region.
The clinics — staffed by a physician, respiratory therapist, and a nurse — are for patients who have experienced respiratory symptoms lasting two weeks or less (such as sore throat, runny nose, earache, cough and congestion) who feel they need to be seen by a physician, but do not require emergency care.
Swan River
The Respiratory Clinic at the Swan Valley Primary Care Centre in Swan River is now open by appointment.
Those wanting to attend can call 204-734-6600 to book an appointment.
Anyone greater than two years of age experiencing respiratory symptoms, including those who are COVID positive, can attend without a referral.
The clinic is open from Mondays and Thursdays from 3-5 p.m. It is not a walk-in clinic.
COVID-19 testing will be part of the assessment. This clinic will not provide prescription refills or the flu shot.
Dauphin
Dauphin’s respiratory clinic is set to open Monday, November 23 at the Dauphin Regional Health Centre.
It will be located in the former temporary emergency department area — and clinic access is only through the front hospital entrance off of 625 Third St SW.
Starting Friday, November 20, those wanting to attend can call 204-622-4194 to book an appointment.
