Urgent Care Centre
MHC's Urgent Care Centre opened in 1998 as a made-in-Manitoba solution; the first of its kind in Canada. Urgent Care specializes in handling non-life-threatening emergencies, providing assessment and treatment for urgent health concerns. It plays a strong role in providing support for city emergency departments, helping 41,000 people a year. Minor accidents, pain and illness can happen anytime... Whether you've broken an arm, your baby has a fever, or you are living with mental illness, we're here to help.

We try to provide the BEST service possible. People are seen in order of their condition. Your wait will depend on:
- how sick you are.
- how sick other patients in Urgent Care are.
- the number of patients in Urgent Care.
- available treatment room and equipment that meets your needs.
The facilities at Misericordia's Urgent Care Centre can:
- provide diagnostic testing such as lab tests and x-rays
- set and cast broken bones
- clean and stitch cuts
- provide counselling and referral for problems related to life stresses
- provide immediate assessment and treatment of any non life-threatening health problem
Our emphasis is on providing the best treatment possible.
