What do I do if I need a doctor when the Center is closed?
Even when the Center is closed, there is always a doctor on call. You
can reach the on call doctor anytime, 24 hours-a-day. The doctor will be
able to advise you if you need immediate treatment in the Emergency Room,
or if you can wait to be seen in the Center during operating hours.
Is it difficult to get an appointment?

good health care. We guarantee that anyone who has an urgent need will
be able to get an appointment and be seen within 24 hours.
