Register for Waiting List for Family Doctors

The Primary Health Care Services are in the process of phoning everyone on
their existing list to tell them that they need to call to register their
name on the NEW provincial list. People on the existing list will NOT be
automatically transferred to the new list, and new vacancies will be
filled ONLY from the new list.

The new number to call at Health Care Connect is :

1-800-445-1822

To register, you need to have your Ontario Health Card number, and know the
address it is registered to. If you don't know the address, you will be
given another Ministry number to call to verify the health card.
Individuals are asked about any chronic health conditions, state of health
and mental health, disabilities, and if female, whether or not they are
pregnant. This allows them to priorize people on the list according to
their need for a doctor.

Please pass this information along to anyone you know who doesn't have a
family doctor.
