The Renfrew County and District Health Unit is hosting a walk-in clinic at the Outreach and Intake Centre in Pembroke, Ontario, on March 11, 2026. This session allows community members to access sexual health testing and general health support without the need to book an appointment.
The clinic is located at 156 John St and will be open from 1:30 PM to 3:30 PM. This facility is also home to the Mesa Warming Centre, which provides support for homeless residents, and the Ontario Addiction Treatment Centre.
Providing services in a walk-in format helps remove common barriers like long wait times and complicated booking processes. Residents can simply drop in to speak with staff or receive testing during the two-hour afternoon session.
The health unit is using this shared space to make sure health services are easy to find for people who may already be visiting the building for other types of support. This approach focuses on making public health services more accessible for everyone in the city.
