Island Health Update for Port Alice Health Clinic
Changes occurring to support our COVID 19 safety efforts to help minimize the number of people coming into the building
– There will be a Patient Ambassador working from 8:30am-1230pm Monday to Friday to manage the flow of patients coming through the health center.
– After 12:30pm and on weekends, the front doors to the health center will be locked and patients will need to use the intercom to communicate with the staff as to the reason for their visit.
Please come to your appointment alone, unless you require a support person to help minimize the number of people in the building.
