Interior Health restores services in Clinton

“The Clinton Health & Wellness Centre remains closed at this time. IH will provide an update on reopening as soon as possible.”

Evacuees returning to Clinton are encouraged to take advantage of the Resiliency Centre at the Clinton Curling Club, located at 1419 Kellow Lane.

“The centre offers a range of information, supports and recovery resources to help community members during the transition home and throughout the recovery process,” said the health authority.

“For this weekend, hours of operation for the centre on Saturday and Sunday, Aug. 15 and 16, are 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Residents can visit the centre in person or call 778-583-0334.”

IH said it will continue to to closely monitor wildfire activity in the Interior, in consultation with municipalities, regional districts, and the BC Wildfire Service to keep staff, patients and clients safe.

“IH would like to thank all partners, including the Village of Clinton, Thompson-Nicola Regional District Emergency Operations Centre, BC Wildfire Service, Emergency Support Services, community partners and employees and medical staff from across the region, for their support during the temporary closure and reopening of services,” said Interior Health.

Those in the Clinton area in need of urgent same-day care can seek out services at the Ashcroft Urgent and Primary Care Centre (UPCC), located at 700 Ash-Cache Creek Highway.
