St. Lawrence Medical Clinic in Iroquois will not be offering appointments as of July 15th, 2019.
In a recent update, the Clinic announced they have decided to consolidate medical care in South Dundas at the Morrisburg Location.
The St Lawrence Medical Clinic, regrets to announce that in an effort to ensure ongoing access to medical care in South Dundas and South Stormont, we will not be offering appointments at the Iroquois office as of July 15th, 2019. The medical profession in Ontario has been under strain. We are having difficulty recruiting new physicians, as are many rural areas in Ontario. At the present time we do not have enough physicians to operate three facilities nor is it economically feasible for the Clinic to do so. Therefore, we have decided to consolidate South Dundas medical care at the Morrisburg location.
Furthermore, the St Lawrence Medical Clinic has been funding the provision of laboratory services at our clinics. We recognize that this is an important resource for our patients and that is why we have absorbed the significant cost associated with operating the lab. Unfortunately, we can no longer privately fund the labs and will cease to do so as of September 2, 2019. The Clinic is working with the lab companies and we are hopeful that laboratory services will continue to be available at our sites.
The Townships of South Dundas and South Stormont have agreed to assist us in physician recruitment. If we are successful Clinic services may be revised.
In July 2019 a new after hours service will be provided by the Clinic. This will provide urgent care appointments and further details will be forthcoming.
The St Lawrence Medical Clinic has been providing medical care to our communities for more than 50 years and we are committed to continuing this tradition.
St. Lawrence Medical Clinic is located at 34 Ottawa Street in Morrisburg.
