During this critical physician shortage in our area, we are offering a virtual care clinic to help alleviate with the long wait times in the SOGH emergency room.

​

We understand that this is not a solution to our physician shortage, but we are trying our best to assist our community in this crisis.

Appointment times and availability rely on Physicians scheduling time at the Virtual Care Clinic.

There might NOT be any appointments available and when this happens you will need to seek medical care elsewhere.
