LETHBRIDGE, AB – Due to short-term staffing shortages, a community lab in Lethbridge is temporarily closed.

Alberta Health Services (AHS) says effective today, November 9, the Campbell Clinic South location of Alberta Precision Laboratories (430 Mayor Magrath Drive S.) will be temporarily closed.

Because the location is drop-in only, no appointments have been cancelled and all patients will be accommodated at other locations.

Patients requiring lab services can still access lab collection services at the locations below:

“Every effort continues to be made to find alternate staff solutions to cover shifts. Unfortunately, when that is not possible, temporary short-term closures are required.”
