Walk in and Community Health Clinics
We recommend you telephone a clinic in advance to ensure the clinic will be open and a doctor will be available when you plan to arrive.
(Sorry, I can't list the hours and days of service as they can change and it is too much work on a volunteer basis to keep track and update such detailed information.)
