The Covid-19 Assessment Centre in Owen Sound is moving to a new location.
Grey Bruce Health Services says in a release the centre will be located at the Sun Life building north of the hospital at 1100 16th Avenue East as of January 21.
“Our temporary facility worked well. We accommodated 19,400 visits and completed more than 18,900 COVID-19 tests,” says GBHS president and CEO Gary Sims. “We’re looking forward to transitioning into a much larger location – one that has been designed, from the ground up, to accommodate increased patient volumes if required, throughout the winter and beyond.”
The new Covid-19 Assessment Centre in Owen Sound will continue to operate Monday to Friday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Patients are required to pre-book appointments prior to arrival at www.gbhs.on.ca or by calling 519-378-1466.
The Owen Sound assessment centre is one of several Covid-19 testing locations in Grey Bruce. Others include the Southampton, Wiarton, Kincardine, Lion’s Head and Hanover hospitals.
