Community Care Resources & Walk-in Clinics
This information is subject to change at any time.
Knowing your options can help you reduce stress and get timely support.
The Emergency Department is for urgent, immediate and unscheduled healthcare services and is one of several choices to receive care.
For serious medical injuries and conditions, DO NOT delay seeking emergency care or calling 9-1-1.
You may be able to use another healthcare option to get the care you need more quickly if your condition is not urgent. If you already have a family doctor or nurse practitioner, start there whenever you can. If you don’t have a primary health-care provider, these are the options available to you:
| Health811: Connect with a registered nurse day or night for free, secure and confidential health advice. Call 811 (TTY: 711) or chat online.
Find local health care (e.g. walk-in clinic, physiotherapy) and mental health and addictions services. Check your symptoms using this assessment tool to learn more about your symptoms and get advice on next steps. |
| Health Care Connect can help Ontarians to find a family physician, nurse practitioner or primary care team who are accepting new patients. |
| 211 quickly and confidentially connects people to social services and community programs across the province. The free and confidential service can be accessed 24 hours a day, in more than 150 languages, by phone, chat, text, and web. |
| Healthline.ca helps find local health and community services, including local walk-in clinics. |
| The North Bay Parry Sound District Health Unit offers healthy living programs and disease prevention information to all members of the community. If you need information about healthy lifestyles, including nutrition, active living, reproductive, sexual and dental health, child development, substance use or mental health, visit their website. |
| 9-8-8 Suicide Crisis Helpline: A safe space to talk, 24 hours a day, every day of the year. |
