Changes in Operating Hours

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

Island Health is partnering with Life Labs to ensure reliable acute and outpatient services. We acknowledge the inconvenience of these temporary changes and appreciate people’s patience as we work to support acute and outpatient services.
