The Renfrew County Virtual Triage and Assessment Centre is adding a new branch next week.
Renfrew County’s paramedics will be offering minor medical treatments at their clinical assessment centre inside their new paramedic base in Eganville starting on December 5th.
They recently made a short video explaining what their clinics can do for residents feeling unwell.
Residents without a doctor can set up appointments to check for ear, nose, throat, and respiratory issues, plus some minor procedures, tick removal, and more.
The Eganville clinic joins current services offered in Renfrew, Arnprior, Pembroke, and Petawawa and will run every second Thursday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
