Changes in Operating Hours

Due to the impact of the COVID-19, Island Health has made the decision to temporarily adjust some of our Outpatient Lab hours. 

We acknowledge the inconvenience of these temporary changes and appreciate people’s patience as we work to support acute and outpatient services.
