Our clinic will provide access to same-day, urgent, non-emergency health care.
The clinic runs on a first come, first served basis and is available to any Canadian resident.
Hours of operation are 10-5 seven days per week, however numbers are limited by our staff capacity so we are only able to see a finite number of patients each day.

New VIRTUAL CARE NURSE PRACTITIONER
We now have a Virtual Care Nurse Practitioner staffing the clinic on select days. For now they are working Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays and will increase the volume of patients seen per day… note this is in ADDITION to our regular NP services.
How does a Virtual Care appointment work at the MUCC? You will be checked in with our admin staff. When our Nurse (RPN) is ready they will call you into their area and will discuss your problems, check your vitals, ect. If they feel your appointment could be handled virtually, they will get you to sign a confidentiality release form and will put you in the queue with the Virtual NP. When the Virtual NP is ready for you the RPN will call you into the treatment room with the camera equipment. If you need something physical “LIKE SUTURE REMOVAL” the RPN will perform that procedure.
