What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Newfoundland and Labrador Health Services spent at least $1 million leasing a 12,398-square-foot facility in Mount Pearl for a new urgent care clinic. Although construction finished in late 2025, the Urgent Care Centre West has been repeatedly postponed since its planned opening at the end of that year due to staffing issues. Currently, parts of the building are being used for temporary services, including X-ray services and walk-in clinics.
