It will be at least four weeks before the La Ronge Medical Clinic returns to its regular building.
he facility was smoke-damaged Friday in a fire that also gutted the adjoining Harbour Pharmacy.
Clinic spokesperson Rhonda Oliver says the local health centre’s ER has been taking on clinic clients, but it’s becoming too much.
“We are set up in the La Ronge Medical Centre right now but it is not feasible to carry on like this much longer so we are just asking that if people really need services provided that they come through the emergency room and we’re asking that the visits are for urgent care issues only”
Oliver says a plan is in place to find a portable clinic to take the pressure off the ER.
