Whitehorse Walk-In Clinic moves to permanent location at Mah’s Point

Yukoners deserve a health care system that provides them timely access to services when and where they need them. The Government of Yukon's Whitehorse Walk-in Clinic will welcome clients to its new, permanent home at Mah's Point, 2145 2nd Avenue on Monday, April 29, 2024.

The clinic's team of physicians, nurse practitioners, licensed practical nurses, medical office assistants and social workers will continue to provide high-quality care in the new facility. Client visiting hours at the new location will expand to Monday through Friday, from 9 am to 12 pm and from 1 pm to 4 pm, allowing for greater accessibility and convenience for Yukoners seeking care. The telephone line will be open from 8:45 am to 4:30 pm.

While the clinic does not provide emergency services, long-term care, on-site specialist consultations, major surgical procedures, advanced diagnostics or maternity and childbirth services, it will continue to provide non-urgent health care services for Yukoners unattached to a primary health care provider, including same-day treatment for minor illnesses and injuries, certain necessary medical procedures, as well as referrals and prescriptions for non-narcotic medications. This will contribute to improvements in Yukoners' health overall and reduce the pressure on the Whitehorse General Hospital Emergency Department.

To manage patient traffic efficiently and to offer the best possible care experience, we encourage Yukoners to call 867-471-0035 to check wait times and book a same-day appointment. Walk-ins are welcome and will be accommodated based on the clinic's capacity.

The opening of the Whitehorse Walk-In Clinic at Mah's Point reflects the Government of Yukon's dedication to improving primary care services and ensuring that every Yukoner has access to health care. This effort aligns with the government's strategic health care initiatives and the Putting People First report, aiming to connect every Yukoner with a primary care provider within an integrated health care system.
