Health Receptionist

The health receptionist is the first person you will meet when you come into the Health Centre. She will make an appointment for you with the Nurse/Educator.

Please remember to check in with the receptionist when arriving for an appointment.

After you have registered, the receptionist will direct you to the waiting room until the Nurse/Educator can see you.
