BE PREPARED: Know Your Health Care Options over the Holidays

NBRHC wishes everyone a safe, healthy and happy holiday season as we look forward to 2022.

As many health care services have reduced services, here are some holiday health care tips we hope will help you prepare and keep you and your loved ones healthy.

Remember: if you do need us, we are here for you.

HOLIDAY SEASON HEALTH CARE CHECKLIST:

• Know your primary care provider’s holiday hours (if applicable)
• Schedule any needed medical appointments.
• Refill your medications and medical supplies

Need non-emergency care?

You may be able to access the health care you require elsewhere in our community. Click here for a link to walk in clinics. You can also call Telehealth Ontario at 1-866-797-0000.

Tips for visiting the Emergency Department:

NBRHC often is managing higher patient volumes in our Emergency Department (ED) during holidays.

ED patients are triaged, which means the most serious cases are seen first.

If you can, please make sure to bring your health card and any medications you need with you when you come.
