Family doctor, walk-in clinic and pharmacist

Don’t wait until you’re sick — waiting lists are long.

Where to go

Your province’s doctor finder, walk-in clinics and your pharmacy.

What to bring

• Health card or proof of coverage
• List of medicines and any allergies
• Medical reports and vaccination records if you have them

What to do, step by step

1. Join your province’s family-doctor waiting list.
2. Until then, use walk-in clinics for minor issues.
3. Pharmacists can help with minor concerns; what they may do varies by province.
4. Ask about cost before any non-emergency service.

Note: for emergencies call 911 or go to the nearest hospital. For quick advice, 811 in most provinces.
