The Children’s Outpatient Clinic at KHSC’s Hotel Dieu Hospital site serves patients from birth until their 18th birthday. COPC is home to both booked specialty pediatric clinics and an Urgent Care Clinic for pediatric patients who may require care that can’t wait for an appointment with their family doctor. If your child requires immediate care for a serious illness, major trauma or other medical emergency, please take them to the Emergency Department at our KGH site.
We understand that this can be a scary experience for children and a stressful time for parents. The staff at COPC are committed to ensuring that their patients and families feel safe and have a complete understanding of the care experience. We encourage you to ask questions at any time about your child’s care.
COPC Urgent Care
COPC Urgent Care is open Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and is located on Jeanne Mance 1. Enter the hospital through the main entrance off Brock Street and turn left, walking past the Café. COPC Urgent Care is the first door on your left.
In COPC Urgent Care we see the sickest patients first rather than seeing patients in order of arrival. Please take a seat in the triage waiting area until you are called by the triage nurse.
