The West Hants Access Satellite Clinic will offer same-week appointments for patients residing on the Hants Shore who are without a family doctor or nurse practitioner and are registered on the Need a Family Practice Registry. These clinics will take place on Friday mornings at the Hants Shore Health Centre, offering a limited number of medical appointments on a first-come, first-served basis. This initiative aims to improve access to healthcare and alleviate pressure on local Emergency Departments.
The clinic will accommodate various non-urgent appointment types, including medication refills, ear wax impaction and flushing, non-urgent referrals, routine bloodwork, imaging requests (e.g., X-rays), as well as massage or physiotherapy referrals.
Appointments can be booked by calling the Health Centre 902-633-2110 starting at 9am every Wednesday. Once all available appointments are filled, patients will be advised to call again the following week when the next booking period begins.
Corin Hagmann, Registered Nurse at the Health Centre, will be on-site to support your visit. Dr. David Lapierre will provide care virtually or in person
