When Cathy Seale read the notice posted on the door, announcing the Tacoma Family Medicine Walk-in Clinic in Dartmouth, N.S., would close beginning Monday, her reaction was one of sadness.
“It’s going to be missed,” said the Dartmouth resident. “And it is needed here.”
Nena Snyder frequently uses the walk-in clinic.
“Especially when I have something going on that isn’t worthy of going to the emergency room,” said Snyder who added this closure is a major setback for the entire surrounding neighborhood. “There was always a lineup there, there was clearly a demand, they provided a service to the community, and I’m disappointed.”
The operators of the clinic did not respond to CTV’s request for an interview.
The posting on the clinic’s door outlined the upcoming closure.
“It is with great sadness that we announce the closure of Tacoma Family Medicine's walk-in clinic. The walk-in clinic’s last day will be April 14th, 2024. The family practice of Tacoma Family Medicine will not be closing.”
