QuickCare Clinic shutting down at the end of January
The Winnipeg Regional Health Authority (WRHA) has decided to shut down one of six QuickCare clinics in Winnipeg when it’s lease runs out at the end of January 2017.
The clinic located at 17 St Mary’s Road is in a building that has been leased and that lease will not be renewed.
QuickCare clinics are staffed by nurse practitioners and were designed for non-emergent medical care but they have been plagued with staffing shortages since their inception resulting in shorter hours and rotating closures.
The staff at the St. Mary’s location will be transferred to other locations.
According to the WRHA there is no plan to shut down any of the other five QuickCare clinics left in the city.
