The Airdrie Community Health Centre is taking a big step forward with its recent renovations! Opened to patients on September 9, this newly upgraded urgent care space means a lot for the community. With an impressive investment of $8.4 million, the center is enhancing treatment capacity by 37.5%, ensuring that patients get the care they need without long waits.

What’s new? For starters, there are six newly created treatment spaces, including specialized rooms designed for improved infection control. There's also a dedicated EMS parking area, making it easier for paramedics to transfer patients quickly. Plus, an expanded waiting area means more comfort for everyone.

As part of Alberta’s commitment to better healthcare, this is just Phase 2 of the optimization project, with exciting improvements still on the way. Soon, patients will also see updates to the old urgent care area, providing even more comfort and efficiency.

These upgrades not only make a difference for patients but also for families and staff, ensuring that everyone receives timely, quality care close to home. With urgent care centres like this one, Albertans can rest assured knowing that help is nearby for a wide range of health concerns.
