UPDATE: H.A. Leeper Speech and Hearing Clinic Temporary Closure

In response to the rapidly-evolving situation regarding COVID-19, and to protect the health of our clients, students, staff and the broader community, the H.A. Leeper Speech and Hearing Clinic has closed temporarily. We anticipate fully re-opening no sooner than May 1, 2020.

Urgent Care Services

At this time, we will not be providing Urgent Care Services of any type. We apologize for the inconvenience.

As more information becomes available from federal, provincial and local health authorities, we will assess potential dates for an end to the temporary closure.

We realize this disruption of services will impact many of our clients. Those whose appointments are impacted will be contacted directly and arrangements to reschedule will be made once more information is available about a potential date for re-opening.

Should you have questions, please contact: speechandhearingclinic@uwo.ca
