The unexpected technical issues we were experiencing at Oak Valley Health has been resolved. While we are back to regular operations, our teams continue work to clear the backlog. This may take a few days and patients may experience longer wait times when visiting. Thank you for your patience.
Oak Valley Health’s patient education pages share the skills, knowledge, and habits patients and families need to know to cope with a daily health issue. We hope this information can influence patient behaviour to improve health outcomes and provide you with a sense of control and autonomy.
