Yellowknife’s sexual health clinic will start accepting walk-in clients every Wednesday in a trial designed to improve access to its services.
The clinic, at the city’s primary care centre on 48 Street, will take walk-ins from 9am-12pm and 1-3pm each Wednesday.
“The walk-in clinic is intended to improve access to confidential sexual health services, particularly for people who may experience barriers to accessing care through scheduled appointments,” the NWT’s health authority stated in a news release.
Services you can access include testing and treatment for sexually transmitted infections, sexual health assessment and counselling, “prevention education” and vaccinations.
“This service is being introduced as a trial to improve access to timely, flexible, and confidential sexual health care. Demand and feedback will be monitored and the service adjusted as needed.”
