PUBLIC NOTICE: No outpatient X-rays in Drayton Valley (Jan 7–Mar 9, 2026)

AHS has advised that X-ray services at the Drayton Valley Hospital & Care Centre will be under renovation/equipment replacement from Jan 7 to Mar 9, 2026. During this time, the hospital will have limited mobile X-ray capability for basic exams only.

⚠️ Important: The limited X-ray service will be for hospital patients only (ER / Acute Care / LTC).
✅ No outpatient/community X-ray appointments will be available at the hospital.
➡️ Any X-rays ordered by our clinic will need to be done outside of Drayton Valley (e.g., Leduc, Devon, Rocky Mountain House, Rimbey etc).

Also, the former ACMS X-ray clinic remains closed, so there is currently no local outpatient X-ray option. We anticipate it may reopen shortly under new management and will share updates when confirmed.

While inconvenient, this upgrade is long overdue and we’re glad to see AHS investing in improved equipment for our community.

Questions? Please contact our clinic. For emergencies, call 911 or go to the nearest ER.
