A health lab in Summerland, B.C., will undergo a temporary closure starting next week, Interior Health announced on Friday.
Starting Tuesday, Nov. 16, patients wanting to use services at the Summerland Health Centre Outpatient Laboratory will need to visit either Penticton or Peachland.
According to Interior Health, the lab is being temporarily closed due to staffing shortages.
“Patients with existing appointments will be notified directly of alternative service locations,” said Interior Health. “ECG service is available in Penticton at the Penticton Regional Hospital or at Okanagan Clinical Labs.”
IH says walk-in service and appointments are available at nearby locations in Penticton and Peachland.
