The Saturna Island Medical Clinic

The Saturna Medical Clinic, located at the Saturna Island Recreation and Cultural Centre,
104 Harris Road, Saturna Island, is open during regular Medical Clinic hours on Tuesdays at 539-5435.

DOCTOR'S SCHEDULES and IMPORTANT INFORMATION:

Doctor's hours are every Tuesday from 10:30 a.m. to 3:30p.m (closed for lunch from 12:45 to 1:15) at the Medical Clinic.
For an appointment, please call the receptionist or leave a message on the answering machine at 539-5435.

A friendly reminder: Remember that we are an isolated community and medical care is very limited. Be sure to have your own supply of over the counter medications such as Tylenol, Ibuprofen, Gravol etc. Also, if you have allergies, be sure to have your required medications for this as well. As we do not have a Pharmacy on Island, medications can only be given from the Clinic under Doctor's supervision.

Visiting Doctors are here one day a week; so if you require emergency medication at any other time you will have to leave the Island to obtain them. It would be wise to remind your visitors to bring required medications as refills or replacement medications are not available on Island.

Nurse's Clinics are conducted every Thursdays 10:00am to 2:00pm, unless otherwise posted.
