SUMMARY - Urgent Care Centres

In a suburban neighbourhood in Mississauga, Ontario, Elena, a nurse practitioner, stands at the threshold of her new Urgent Care Centre (UCC). She watches a family arrive by car rather than ambulance, their child suffering from a moderate asthma flare. Elena knows that this child does not require the intensive monitoring of a Level 1 trauma centre, yet the local emergency department (ED) is currently experiencing a thirty-hour wait for non-critical cases.
