Due to the extreme heat in the building and the lack of air conditioning, we’re finding that the environment has become increasingly challenging to work in in the afternoons. The windows that do open are positioned high up, which limits airflow and makes it particularly difficult for our dedicated team who are stationed there throughout the day.
To ensure the safety and wellbeing of both our staff and patients, we’ve made the decision to temporarily close this site today. However, Valley View will be open, and all staff will be relocated there for the time being.
Phone lines will be diverted, and the same level of service will continue to be provided, just from one location instead of two.
Thank you for your understanding and support.
