Virtual Urgent Care Ontario
St. Joseph’s Healthcare Hamilton, Thames Valley Family Health Team, and Hamilton Health Sciences Centre are partnering together to offer virtual urgent care services through www.urgentcareontario.ca. The site offers urgent online medical care services to adults, children and residents of long-term care across Southwestern Ontario.
- St. Joseph’s Healthcare Hamilton – provides virtual urgent care for adults in Southwestern Ontario
- Thames Valley Family Health Team – provides virtual urgent care for children/youth
- Hamilton Health Sciences – provides virtual acute care consultations for long-term residents (currently Hamilton and Niagara North West)
Whenever possible, a family doctor should be the first point of access for care. A virtual urgent care appointment may be right for you if you or a loved one have a medical issue that is NOT life threatening, but requires urgent medical attention.
If you are in severe distress, call 911 and do not drive yourself to the hospital. If you’re having a medical emergency or your symptoms worsen while you’re waiting for a virtual appointment, visit your nearest emergency department or urgent care centre in person.
