The Annapolis Urgent Treatment Centre (UTC) provides access to care for those with unexpected, non-life-threatening health concerns with appointments offered within one to two days.

To book (or cancel) an appointment* call 902-532-4011 (starting at 8:30 a.m.) or visit in-person. You will be assessed to determine if you require an appointment later that day, or the next day the centre is open. If you require emergent care, you will be directed to the nearest emergency department.

There are a specific number of appointments available each day at the UTC. Once those appointments are booked up, we will no longer answer the telephone line. A sign will be posted at Annapolis Community Health Centre to inform the public. Closed on holidays.

*Please note: If there are no appointments available at this urgent treatment centre and your issue isn't urgent in nature, you can also call 1-833-710-0110 for availability of same-day appointments at surrounding primary care and after hours clinics. Telephone lines open starting at 8 a.m., Monday to Friday. There is limited availability and appointments will be distributed on a first come, first serve basis.  

The available appointments could be at any one of four locations:

• Eastern Kings Memorial Community Health Centre
• Western Kings Memorial Health Centre
• Soldiers Memorial Hospital
• Kentville (Suite 210, 70 Exhibition Street, Kentville)

More about the program

The Annapolis UTC is different than an emergency department in that it provides care for non-life-threatening illness or injuries, does not receive ambulances, and only sees patients by appointment.
