Severe wind has damaged the Water’s Edge building and forced the closure of Immediate Care and all clinics at that location. Engineering teams are assessing the damage. A date for reopening has not been determined.

Staff are contacting patients to help them reschedule their appointments. Patients with immediate needs should head to the nearest emergency room. Please avoid calling your Water's Edge clinic at this time. Stay tuned for updates.
