Looking for a family doctor?
- Visiting the Health Connect Registry to be connected with family doctors or nurse practitioners within your community.
- Asking your family or friends to introduce you to their own family doctor. Sometimes a doctor may take you on referral from an existing patient.
- Visiting a local walk-in clinic or Urgent and Primary Care Centre (UPCC). UPCCs also serve as primary care clinics for people who do not have a regular family doctor or nurse practitioner and will work to connect them to a primary care clinic as space is available.
- If you are visiting another health care provider, such as a specialist, ask them if they know of family doctors who are accepting patients.
