Urgent and Primary Care Centres (UPCCs) provide access to same-day, urgent, non-life-threatening health care. UPCCs are often open evening, weekends and statutory holidays (actual hours vary by clinic). UPCCs provide an alternative to visiting an emergency department for non-life-threatening issues and may also connect you to the right community services, including walk-in clinics and family doctors that are accepting patients.

UPCCs have care teams that can include:

Doctors/nurse practitioners
Nurses
Clinical Pharmacists
Social Workers
Clinical Counsellors

(Note: Some UPCCs require that you call ahead to confirm hours and availability.)

If you or someone you know has chest pains, difficulty breathing, or severe bleeding, this may be a life-threatening issue. Call 9-1-1 or go to your nearest emergency room right away, not Urgent Care.
