Walkerton lab at SBGHC closed due to flooding

The Laboratory at South Bruce Grey Health Centre’s (SBGHC) Walkerton site will be closed to outpatients on Tuesday, November 20 through Thursday, November 22 for flood restoration.

Earlier today there was a sewer backup on the lower level of the building, causing flooding to the Lab, ER and Diagnostic Imaging departments. The backup has been cleared and flooding has receded, however, there is now a substantial amount of cleanup and damage repair to be completed.

The Laboratory Departments at SBGHC’s Chesley, Durham and Kincardine sites will remain open
for outpatient collections throughout the week.

The Laboratory at the Walkerton site is scheduled to reopen on Friday, November 23.  However,
calling ahead to ensure the department has reopened is encouraged.
