POLICIES:
Walk-in Policy:
Walk-in patients are served on a first-come-first-serve basis. If you require immediate medical attention, please seek care at Canmore General Hospital or Banff Mineral Springs Hospital.
Please DO NOT show up before the check-in time starts - you will not be placed in line until the start time. Our hallway is shared with other great businesses in town, and we do not want to clog up their entryways.
Upon arrival for the walk-in clinic, please take a number and have a seat. If you have been to our clinic before, one of our team members will call out your number shortly. If you have not been to our clinic before, please grab a New Patient Form and fill it out while you wait.
Once your number has been called, we will book you in to see the doctor between the walk-in hours posted for the day. Please note that only one doctor is working per walk-in shift, therefore the appointments fill quickly.
Once your appointment is made, you are welcome to leave the clinic until your allotted appointment time.
Same-Day Visit Policy:
Now that we have opened our walk-in clinic, we have stopped offering same-day appointments on the days that we are running the walk-in clinic.
Masking Policy:
As per Alberta Health Services policies, we are lifting our mandatory masking requirement EFFECTIVE March 24, 2023.
A mask is only required in the following situations:
- A patient with the following symptoms MUST wear a mask:
- Sore throat
- Runny nose
- Sneezing
- New or worsening cough
- Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
- Temperature equal to or more than 38°C
- Masks will be worn by physicians and staff when unable to physical distance from a symptomatic patient.
- Masks may also be worn based on personal comfortability, for all patients, staff and physicians.
- Masks must be worn if you have had a positive covid test in the past ten days, regardless of whether you currently have symptoms.
We thank all of our patients, physicians, staff and community for following the masking regulations for the last 3 years. We appreciate your diligence in keeping us and our community safe.
