Bayers Lake Community Outpatient Centre remains closed

The Bayers Lake Community Outpatient Centre will remain closed on Thursday due to the unpredictable nature of the Susies Lake wildfire.

Out of an abundance of caution, the outpatient centre was evacuated Tuesday afternoon, and all appointments since then have been either relocated or rescheduled.

Most patients with scheduled appointments will be seen at alternative locations or virtually. Some appointments will be rescheduled. Patients have been contacted or will be contacted about the changes.

Patients with booked blood collection appointments at the Bayers Lake site are asked to attend the Bayers Road blood collection clinic (7071 Bayers Rd.) at the same scheduled time.

Similarly, electrocardiogram patients booked at Bayers Lake will be accommodated at Cobequid Community Health Centre at their regularly scheduled appointment time.

Decisions will be made tomorrow about when services at the outpatient site will resume, following direction from emergency officials.
