To our WinPO clients, family, and friends
In following the advice of the public health officer and after careful thought and deliberation of our duty in the face of the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) outbreak we are temporarily closing the clinic. We believe this decision is in the best interest of our patients, families, employees and local communities. Winnipeg Prosthetics and Orthotics will suspend operations starting Monday April 6th until further notice.
We will be in contact with our patients directly to cancel all upcoming appointments. We will be monitoring phone messages and emails if you have any questions or concerns.
If you have an emergency, are in need of supplies, or would like to contact us please do not hesitate to call and leave a message or email your practitioner at Clinical Professionals. We will do our best to provide options to maintain service on a case-by-case basis over the phone, via video conferencing or other means.
We are following the best available advice of the experts and doing our part to suppress the curve. With these actions we are supporting our front line healthcare workers that are facing this challenge head on. WinPO is incredibly grateful for their bravery, dedication and continued care. We look forward to resuming normal operations once it is safe to do so. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this will undoubtedly create. Thank you for working with us as we navigate through these unprecedented times.
We will do our best to update messages and provide resources on our website and social media platforms. Here is some advice for amputees during these times – Click here
Please stay safe and do your part to prevent the spread.
