A new flu, COVID-19, and cold clinic aimed at addressing the heavier-than-normal volume and severity of children’s viral illnesses has opened its doors at McMaster Children’s Hospital in Hamilton.
The walk-in clinic, which was established to help ease congestion in the hospital’s emergency department, is open to symptomatic patients 17 and under from 4:30 to 8:30 p.m. on weekdays and from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on weekends. People can also book an appointment on St. Joseph’s Healthcare Hamilton’s web site.
Patients are advised to contact their primary health care provider before attending the clinic, which is intended for children who are unable to see their family doctor in a timely way or don’t have one. This new initiative was made possible through a partnership between Hamilton Family Medicine and St. Joseph’s Healthcare Hamilton.
