June 15, 2020 - In Office Appointments

Though we are returning to in-person patient care, it won't be business as usual, so we wanted to outline changes that you will experience during your visit:

Arrive at your appointment time, not before or after.
- This allows us to limit the amount of people in our waiting room, and provide time to properly clean treatments rooms between appointments.

Everyone entering the clinic must wear a mask.
- Albertans who have not received a free mask via the drive-thru program, can call 211 to request a package of free masks.
Do not bring anyone with you into the clinic for your appointment. If you have a family member or friend drive you to the appointment they will need to remain in their vehicle during the appointment.
Exceptions include:
- Those with mobility or memory issues, needing assistance (limited to one caregiver).
- Guardians accompanying a minor (limited to one guardian).

You will be screened for COVID-19 symptoms multiple times:
- COVID symptom screening will occur when you book your appointment and when you arrive at the clinic.
- Patients who answer “yes” to any COVID symptom screening questions will not be allowed to enter the clinic, and will be directed to contact Alberta Health at 811.
- Staff members are also subject to COVID symptom screening daily, and will not be allowed to enter the clinic if they answer “yes” to any of the screening questions
- If you have any of the following flu-like symptoms, do not come to the clinic, call 811 or visit www.alberta.com/covid19:
  - Fever
  - runny nose
  - shortness of breath
  - difficulty breathing
  - cough
  - sore throat
We are doing everything we can to ensure a clean environment which includes regularly disinfecting high traffic areas.

We want to thank you in advance for your patience and cooperation.

April 2, 2020 - Phone Appointments

Phone call appointments are available to you, this is to maintain social distancing and to assist those in isolation.

Although your phone appointment is booked for a specific time, your doctor may call you within a few hours of that time. Generally, if you book your appointment in the morning, you can expect to get a call from the doctor between 9 and noon, and if booked in the afternoon, you can expect a call between 1 and 4. Additionally, your doctor may be calling you from a blocked number, please make every effort to answer blocked numbers if you have a phone appointment booked.

Online booking is currently available for phone call appointments. For more information on our online booking platform, click here to go to our online booking page.

an in-person appointment
a telephone appointment
or a video call appointment (not available for all doctors)

Attention patients of Westgrove Clinic, it has always been our policy to have anyone with an active cough wear a mask while in the clinic. This policy is for your health and safety, as well as for those around you.  It is especially important during a pandemic to ensure everyone is acting in the best interest of public health.

If you are asked to wear a mask, you must keep it on until you are instructed by the doctor to remove it.

If you refuse to wear a mask, or refuse to wear it properly (covering your nose and mouth) for the duration of your visit, you will be asked to leave and may be discharged from your family physician's service.

During the pandemic, our staff wil be asking everyone routine screening questions at time of booking, upon arrival to the clinic, and when escorting you to the exam room. Please be patient with our staff, we know you are being asked the questions multiple times.

If you refuse to answer the screening questions, or are not truthful about your travel or symptom status, you may be discharged from your family physician's service.

Westgrove clinic supports mutual respect and dignity for those we serve and for those who serve.
Inappropriate conduct or abusive behaviour towards staff, physicians, caregivers, our patients and their families is not tolerated.
Please help us maintain a positive and safe work environment.
