Built for Fly-In-Fly-Out and Camp Workers
Many Fort McMurray patients work rotational schedules at sites like Suncor Base Mine, Syncrude Mildred Lake, Fort Hills, Albian Sands, and Kearl Lake. TelePlus Care is designed for these realities. Whenever you have a wifi or cell signal, you can book and complete a UTI visit, then pick up your antibiotic at a Fort McMurray pharmacy on the way back through town to the airport or your bus.

Preventing UTIs on Long Shifts and in Camps
Long shifts, full PPE, limited bathroom breaks, and dehydration in dry winter air can all contribute to UTI risk for Fort McMurray workers. Practical prevention strategies include:
- Carry a full water bottle and drink consistently through every shift
- Use the washroom as soon as practical, do not hold urine for hours
- Choose breathable cotton base layers under FR coveralls when possible
- Empty your bladder within 15 minutes after sexual activity
- Speak with a physician about prophylactic strategies if UTIs recur
