Markham Fertility Centre, Barrie-Innisfil location will be closed from on December 18, 2025 and will reopen on January 2, 2026.
Why does Markham Fertility Centre Close over the holidays?
The holiday closure allows the clinic to do a complete and thorough clean and to perform important preventive maintenance on equipment without disruption to clinical care. We also believe it is important for employees to have down time and rejuvenate for the upcoming year. We value our staff and our patients.
Will Markham Fertility accept urgent referrals during the closure?
We will keep watch for urgent referrals and respond to them accordingly. An urgent referral is typically a person diagnosed with cancer who can benefit from fertility counselling and/or fertility preservation. Expect a response within 48 hours over the holiday period.
Will the Emergency After Hours Line be monitored during the holidays?
The After Hours Line will not be active during the period between December 22 and December 30. The after hours line will be operational again after 3pm on December 29.
Will Markham Fertility Centre respond to new referrals?
We will keep watch for urgent referrals only and respond to new patient referrals after January 2.
Where can I purchase medications?
Our dispensary will be closed between December 22 and December 30. Medications can be purchased from our Dispensary on the 30 before noon. If you need medications during this time, please purchase before we close on December 22 at our dispensary or have your physician fax a prescription to your pharmacy of choice.
