Lytton primary care clinic scheduled to open September 6, 2023

Interior Health (IH) shared the following:
The anticipated opening date for the temporary primary care clinic in Lytton is planned for Wednesday, September 6, 2023, at 1535 St. Georges Road, right across from the Tl’kemtsin Health Centre.

This facility will be accessible to everyone in the Lytton health services area and beyond. Planning is underway for a more formal opening event this fall and more details will follow.

We want to acknowledge the difficult fire season impacting Lytton and other communities in the health region. Interior Health is committed to ensuring people have access to the health services they need regardless of their location.

If the opening date changes because of impacts from fires, we will let the community know as soon as possible.

The new primary care clinic is located on the Lytton First Nation (LFN) lands. Interior Health is leasing space from LFN for the next three to five years while planning and construction of a permanent facility proceeds.

We’re very grateful to LFN for making this possible and for working together with us to deliver health services in the area. We want to also thank them for opening space within the Tl’kemtsin Health Centre so that Interior Health could re-establish primary care services in the community after the 2021 fire. These services will continue to be delivered out of the Tl’kemtsin Health Centre until the new IH primary care clinic opens.
