Dauphin Regional Health Centre is getting ready for a busy weekend.
With both Countryfest and the Dauphin Ag Society Fair, there's going to be increased activity.
Additional staff is scheduled in some of the key areas including the ambulance and emergency departments.
Here are some things PMH want’s people to keep in mind:
For any urgent or emergent issues, call 911. If you don’t believe your situation is urgent, but still want to speak to a Registered Nurse, call Health Links Toll-Free at 1-888-315-9257. Registered Nurses take calls 24-hours a day, 7-days a week.
For non-urgent matters, the Dauphin Medical Clinic is open during certain times during the week and holiday weekend. In conjunction with the Clinic, Walk-in hours on Saturday are 9 a.m. until noon. On Monday, walk-in clinic hours will be from 9 a.m. until noon.
If weather forecasts call for hot weather, be sun safe to protect your skin and be aware of both the temperature and heat index (real feel temperature) to potentially prevent heat-related illness. More information on heat health and safety can be found on the Prairie Mountain Health website.
Construction at the DRHC continues. The public is reminded to continue accessing the Health Centre through the temporary entrance located at the rear of the building on Jackson Street. Please follow all posted signs.
