The health and safety of our Patients, Staff, Physicians and the community is extremely important to us. To help ensure everyone's safety we have implemented the following precautions during the COVID-19 pandemic:
- Some "non-essential" appointments with our physicians are either being rescheduled to a future date or completed virtually (e.g. phone, video-conference) when suitable to help support physical distancing.
- All "essential" appointments, as determined by the physician are still being completed in-person at the clinic:
- In advance of the appointment, patients will be contacted and asked a series of screening questions to determine their risk level for COVID-19
- Screening may impact a patient's scheduled appointment and you will be provided with further instructions
- When entering the clinic to access Dynacare, X-Ray, Pharmacy, other services or one of our multispecialty physicians, all patients are requested to use hand sanitizer. Patients will still be asked a series of screening questions at the front entrance to determine their current risk level for COVID-19.
- Patients are also encouraged to wear their own face mask based on current Public Health recommendations
- Some patients may be asked to please return home and call Health Links-Info Santé at 204-788-8200 or 1-888-315-9257 for further assessment & instructions
- We have adjusted our waiting rooms to allow for appropriate social/physical distancing.
- Please do not bring any companion if possible; or have them wait outside of the Clinic; or if a companion is absolutely essential, to ensure that it is only one.
- Staff wear personal protective equipment in accordance with current Public Health recommendations.
- We have increased the frequency of cleaning and disinfection throughout the facility.
- On behalf of the Winnipeg Clinic, please help us to ensure everyone's safety!
