Emergency Rooms

Emergency rooms provide treatment of severe illnesses and life-threatening injuries 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. If you need urgent medical attention for serious illness or injury, visit an ER. A doctor or nurse will assess your condition and decide on a course of treatment. For more information:

Clinic

Walk-in clinics provide medical care for people who do not have a family doctor or have one and are unable to reach them.

You can see a nurse or doctor, often without an appointment at a walk-in clinic, and get advice, assessment and treatment for minor illnesses and injuries such as cuts, bruises, minor infections, sprains and skin complaints.

Pharmacy

Pharmacies fill drug prescriptions and offer medication counselling to all members of the community.

In addition to filling drug prescriptions, many pharmacies offer one-on-one counselling to help you quit smoking or manage diabetes. Many also offer flu shots from specially trained pharmacists to those aged five years old and older.

Urgent Care Centres

You can receive treatment for most injuries and illnesses such as infections, earaches, eye injuries, sprains, broken bones, cuts, fevers, minor burns and nose and throat complaints through emergency-trained doctors and other health care professionals at an Urgent Care Centre.

Some Urgent Care Centres may offer follow-up appointments to see how your recovery from illness/injury is progressing.
