Let’s say you’ve found a bat in your house. It’s flapping around. You’re flapping around. Nobody is having a good time.

If someone has come into contact with the bat, we want to hear about it. Why? Because bat bites can be painless and leave no visible mark, and it’s better to be on the safe side.

Call us: 613-580-6744 or 3-1-1 (after hours) and ask for a Public Health Inspector. Individuals should contact public health only if they came into direct contact with a bat.

Today is International Self-Care Day!
Self-care is the foundation of good health but can be difficult to make a priority for many people. Start small with one of the pillars, like eating an extra fruit or vegetable today, going for a short walk or a 5 minute meditation to clear your mind. Check out this website about self-care for more information about why it matters and how we can be better at it: https://isfglobal.org/practice-self-care/

Severe Weather
Due to the severe weather, and the staffing challenges and safety concerns for travelling in the weather, we have limited in person appointment availability today.

Additionally, if you do attempt to call our staff today you may be directed to leave a voicemail, however, due to very limited on site staff there may be a significant delay in returning your call and it is possible it may not be returned until a later date.

For patients who had an appointment scheduled, all providers have reviewed their schedule to provide staff the most appropriate direction and indicated whether to transition appointments to a telephone call, reschedule to another day, or the maintain the appointment as currently booked.

If you experience a medical emergency we recommend you seek care at your local emergency room.

Thanks you for understanding and stay safe today.
