Niagara Health says this is due to doctor shortage for Port Colborne, Fort Erie is open

The Port Colborne Urgent Care Centre is closed today.

Officials say there are ongoing challenges to find enough physicians to cover all shifts and despite reaching out to local doctors and offering incentives, not all of today's shifts can be filled.

Emergency Departments in Niagara Falls, St. Catharines and Welland are open 24/7.

The Fort Erie UCC will be open from 10 am to 8 pm.

The Port Colborne UCC will reopen tomorrow morning at 10 a.m.
