Grey Bruce Health Services is relocating its Owen Sound COVID-19 Assessment Centre to better accommodate patients, staff and physicians. As of Thursday, January 21, the Assessment Centre will be located at 1100 16th Avenue East, Unit C, in Owen Sound (the Sun Life building north of the hospital).
“Our temporary facility worked well. We accommodated 19,400 visits and completed more than 18,900 COVID-19 tests,” said Gary Sims, GBHS President and CEO. “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.”
GBHS is pleased to offer patients, staff and physicians a more spacious, brighter environment that is designed to support the movement and flow of care being provided. The expanded Centre has an accessible entrance, exit, patient assessment areas, washroom facilities and accessible parking. The new space has also been designed to meet healthcare infection control and prevention standards.
The new Assessment Centre will continue operating Monday to Friday 10:00 am - 8:00 pm Patients are required to pre-book appointments prior to arrival at www.gbhs.on.ca (click Book COVID-19 Test) or 519-378-1466.
Those who are visiting the Centre must wear a mask. Please do not arrive more than five minutes prior to your appointment to help reduce congestion in the parking lot.
At South Grey News, we endeavour to bring you truthful and factual, up-to-date local community news in a quick and easy-to-digest format that’s free of political bias. We believe this service is more important today than ever before, as social media has given rise to misinformation, largely unchecked by big corporations who put profits ahead of their responsibilities.
South Grey News does not have the resources of a big corporation. We are a small, locally owned-and-operated organization. Research, analysis and physical attendance at public meetings and community events requires considerable effort. But contributions from readers and advertisers, however big or small, go a long way to helping us deliver positive, open and honest journalism for this community.
Please consider supporting South Grey News with a donation in lieu of a subscription fee and let us know that our efforts are appreciated. Thank you.
