Update March 14, 2025- Sudbury Outpatient Centre

March 14 Update

Thank you for your patience and understanding!

We are currently working to get back to regular operations at the Sudbury Outpatient Centre, and we want to assure you that we’re reaching out to patients directly about any changes to your appointments. There is no need for you to contact us.

Where possible, we are offering telemedicine and virtual appointments to ensure your care continues without delay. Should you still need to come into the Sudbury Outpatient Centre, please report to the same floor as you usually would. If this is your first visit, please proceed to the location you were instructed to for your initial appointment. A team member will be waiting at the elevator to direct you to your appointment area.

We truly appreciate your patience as we work to provide the best care for all of our patients.
