New urgent and primary care centre accepting walk-ins at Northills Shopping Centre – Castanet
Nov 28, 2024
A new urgent and primary care centre that just opened in Northills Shopping Centre is expected to double the number of Kamloops patients seen each year in Interior Health clinics.
The new facility officially opened its doors on Tuesday, serving Kamloops residents who require urgent primary care for non-life-threatening ailments within 12 to 24 hours.
Kathy Doull, executive director of clinical operations for Interior Health said the clinic has been in the works for the last 18 to 24 months and will aid the number of patients seeking care and its primary care and learning centre on Columbia Street.
“It is full to the max, so we know that there’s challenges with primary care providers across Kamloops and so it was determined that we needed a second one in order to meet the needs of the community,” she said.
