NEWS & UPDATES
May 2024 update on Community Health Centres (PDF)
Campbell River Hospital now requires advance booking of blood work appointments. For more information, click here.
LAB Work Service
Lab work services are available by appointment. Call the Cortes Health Centre at 250-935-6718 to book.
UPDATE May 23, 2025: We are only able to book URGENT bloodwork at this time. For more information, please visit: https://www.cortesisland.com/tideline/show17970a/Urgent_Blood_Work_Appointments_Only_
We must have your lab requisition to book you in for blood work. Requisitions will not be issued to you on the morning that blood work is being drawn. An appointment with the attending physician or RN is needed first in order to get a completed requisition if you do not already have one.
Information for Patients:
We are not a walk-in clinic but do have a limited number of same-day appointments for urgent care. These tend to fill up quickly so please call early if an urgent same-day appointment is needed. We open at 9 a.m. and will triage according to urgency.
Please note that we are closed for lunch from 12-1.
If we are unable to accommodate your appointment request in the desired timeline or for additional options, virtual walk-in clinics can schedule doctor appointments by phone or video. They can provide prescriptions, referrals, and requisitions.
Please see the following links for some options for virtual care:
