About this clinic

Doctors refer patients to us for potential intravenous (IV) antibiotic treatment. A referral means you are considered well enough and stable enough that you don't need to be admitted to the hospital for treatment.

This clinic is by referral only through St. Paul’s Hospital Emergency Department. Your doctor may also refer you to OPAT for treatment or if you have already been admitted to St. Paul’s Hospital. This is NOT a walk-in clinic.

Advances in treatments are all thanks to medical research. While participating in research is a decision you should make for yourself in consultation with your care team, there is much activity in this area so please ask us about our research programs if you’re interested.

By taking part in research, you can help us all learn more about advancing health outcomes and find better ways to help people live and thrive. While you cannot assume benefit to yourself, your participation can make a difference in improving care for future patients.

The following clinical trials are currently enrolling volunteers. Please ask your care team for more information or contact the research team listed on each study or trial. For other information about research at Providence Health Care, please visit Providence Research.
