(Fredericton) August 21, 2015 - A new registration process to improve patient flow and reduce wait times for scheduled appointments was implemented at the Dr. Everett Chalmers Regional Hospital's Blood Clinic in April.

Patients are expected to adhere to their appointment time as indicated. If you have an appointment at the Blood Clinic, please arrive on time or no earlier than 15 minutes prior. If you are unable to make your appointment, call 452-5094 to reschedule or cancel.

Walk-in hours are 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday to Friday, for patients needing services at the Blood Clinic without an appointment. Patients are still required to register prior to having their specimen collected.
