An urgent care centre in Brampton will close early Sunday, with the local hospital network citing “human resource challenges.”
A spokesperson for William Osler Health System told Global News that the Peel Memorial urgent care centre would close at 5 p.m. Sunday rather than its usual closing time of 9 p.m.
“Like a number of hospitals, Osler is experiencing human resource challenges and we continue to explore all strategies to help our teams continue to provide exemplary care to our community,” the spokesperson said.
The urgent care centre is not the same as an emergency department and provides “care when your illness or injury isn’t an emergency, but just can’t wait.”
