Walk-in Clinics
Walk-in clinics are designed for individuals seeking medical care outside of emergency situations.
There are three walk-in clinics open between the hours of 7 a.m. – 10 p.m. within walking distance of the College, as well as a number of additional clinics located throughout the city. Appointments are not required at any walk-in clinic in the city, or throughout Canada.
The primacy Cambrian College walk-in clinic is located in the Royal Canadian Superstore (minutes from campus at 1485 LaSalle Blvd.). This location will accept international student insurance cards upfront and will not charge for doctor’s visit upfront.
Urgent Situations
In urgent situations, or for those that feel they need to see a doctor outside of walk-in clinic hours, the emergency department in Sudbury’s Hospital ( Health Sciences North ) is open 24-hours a day, 7-days a week.
Emergency Situations
Those in situations that require immediate attention/support can dial 911 from any mobile phone or landline to receive on-site health care, fire, or police support anywhere in Canada.
