Assessment Centre Reducing Hours

June 16, 2022

In response to Huron Perth experiencing a reduction in COVID-19 transmission rates, the Huron Perth Healthcare Alliance’s (HPHA) COVID-19 Clinical Assessment Centre (CAC), located at the Stratford Rotary Complex, is reducing its hours of operation.

Effective Monday, June 20, 2022 the centre will operate Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. COVID-19 testing appointments will be available from 9 a.m. to 5p.m. and physician assessment appointments from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m.

Do you have symptoms of COVID-19?
You should consider making an appointment for a clinical assessment if you have symptoms of COVID-19 and any of the following apply to you:

• You are at higher risk of getting seriously ill from COVID-19 and need to get tested and assessed for COVID-19 treatment
• You have been directed to visit a COVID-19 clinical assessment centre by your primary care provider
• You feel that you cannot safely monitor your COVID-19 symptoms at home and need to be seen by a health care provider

Are your children experiencing respiratory symptoms?
Our CAC physicians are able to complete a respiratory assessment even if your child does not qualify for COVID-19 testing. Our local primary care and Emergency Department providers support a CAC physician respiratory assessment as a convenient and effective option for parents of children experiencing cold and virus symptoms seeking a doctor’s appointment.

This assessment appointment with a physician is available for those individuals who may qualify for antiviral treatment or for those who do not qualify for a COVID-19 test but have symptoms of respiratory illness.

Please note, if you develop severe symptoms requiring medical attention, such as shortness of breath, chest pain, loss of consciousness, or confusion, call 911 or go to the emergency department.
