Cobequid Community Health Centre Reopening

The Cobequid Community Health Centre in Lower Sackville is reopening at noon after being closed earlier today due to an issue with one of the boilers.

Fire officials determined one of the facility's boilers was burning fuel inefficiently due to incomplete combustion, causing smoke to circulate throughout the building. There was no actual fire.

Patients with blood collection appointments this afternoon can return to Cobequid or proceed to the Bayers Road blood collection clinic for the same time as their appointment.

For diagnostic imaging appointments, patients who were contacted directly should follow the instructions provided during that call. Anyone not contacted directly should go to their appointment as scheduled at Cobequid.
