A dedicated flu, COVID, and cold clinic opens on Tuesday at St. Joseph’s Healthcare on the Hamilton Mountain.

The clinic at the West 5th campus is intended to offer more timely care for COVID, cold, and flu patients who can’t get in to see a family doctor.

The opening of the new clinic is part of measures aimed at easing pressure on emergency departments.

The clinic is open to both adults and children and a doctor’s referral is not required, but it’s not a walk-in clinic.

Patients are expected to make an appointment at St. Joseph’s Healthcare’s website.

The clinic can be accessed from the door beside the Fennell Ave. outpatient entrance and St. Joe’s stresses that patients must not access the flu, COVID, cold clinic through other hospital entrances or walk through the hospital.

The clinic is open from 4:30-9 p.m. during the week and from 8-4 p.m. on the weekends.
