Saddle Hills County has announced the highly anticipated Saddle Hills County Health Clinic will be opening on June 17th.
County Reeve Alvin Hubert describes the project as “a long time in the making,” and says he and his colleagues are “incredibly excited” to see the project come to fruition.
“From initial conception in 2021 to now, we have been incredibly excited about the opportunity to bring much-needed additional healthcare options to rural Alberta and our residents,” he says.
The hope among county officials is that the establishment of a new health clinic will relieve pressures on local emergency rooms and provide a healthcare option for residents who don’t have primary care physicians.
To mark the opening of the clinic, Saddle Hills County will host a meet and greet on June 17th to offer residents a chance to tour the clinic and ask questions.
Additionally, on June 17th, the clinic will begin taking bookings, with a potential first appointment date as early as the next day.
The clinic will operate from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. and 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. for residents of Saddle Hills County.
