MPP Jeff Burch calls for 24/7 urgent care in Port Colborne

Niagara Centre MPP Jeff Burch is once again calling on the province to restore full 24/7 urgent care services in Port Colborne, pointing to a new report from the Port Colborne Health Coalition that underscores the community’s growing frustration.

Burch noted it has now been more than 840 days since after-hours services were removed from the Port Colborne and Fort Erie Urgent Care Centres. 

He said the situation has only worsened, particularly this past summer, when rotating closures between the two sites left residents and visitors with even fewer options during the busy tourist season.
