Emergency / Urgent Care Guidance

In a medical emergency (e.g., life-threatening, severe injury), individuals should seek immediate emergency medical services (911) or go to the nearest hospital/urgent care facility.

For urgent but non-emergency health needs, contact the Primary Care Clinic at Tla’amin Health where Nurse Practitioners and Registered Nurses help assess your situation and advise next steps (e.g., same-day clinic visit or referral). The Primary Care Clinic is part of the qathet Primary Care Network coordinated through Tla’amin Health. Registered Nurses support disease management and patient education, which can include advice if symptoms escalate.
