Brockville’s COVID-19 Clinical Assessment Centre is moving

Starting April 14, Brockville’s Clinical Assessment Centre will reopen in its new location, at the Brockville Shopping Centre, at 125 Stewart Boulevard, Unit #6. The Clinical Assessment Centre will be closed on April 13 to allow for the move.

As the Province re-opens businesses and organizations, the City of Brockville is re-opening the Memorial Centre for recreational use for our community members. Moving to the easily accessible Brockville Shopping Centre enables the Clinical Assessment Centre to continue to meet the needs of our community, while not impacting recreation for local residents.

Across Ontario, COVID-19 Assessment Centres have offered a community-based approach to testing for COVID-19. Though an innovative partnership of local health agencies, Brockville’s model of Assessment Centre has always offered COVID-19 and medical assessment in addition to COVID-19 testing.

Building on this approach, the Upper Canada Family Health Team and Brockville General Hospital, provide medical assessments in the community. The expanded clinical services ease the pressure on primary care offices and Emergency Departments.
