After two years of dedicated COVID-19 testing and assessments, Huntsville physicians and the Town of Huntsville will be closing the Huntsville COVID-19 Assessment Centre at the Active Living Centre after March 30, 2022.
Testing has reduced significantly, due to a variety of factors. The physicians are looking forward to re-focusing medical care efforts to community primary care and other important roles in Huntsville.
The partnerships between several local groups have been instrumental in battling the pandemic. We are thankful to all of those who participated and hopeful that working relationships formed to respond to this need will continue to build a community-focused health care system in Huntsville.
