Info for parents & caregivers:
Even if your child has a Pediatrician, it’s important that your child continue to receive their primary care & regular check-ups with your family doctor, NP and/or midwife (newborn primary care x initial 6-8weeks).
If your child's issue suddenly changes, worsens or new issues develop, we appreciate a written update from your primary care provider (may impact your child's wait time as more urgent referrals and newborns/infants are prioritized & assessed quickly).

We are facing a primary health care CRISIS.
The chronic overcrowding of emergency departments has reached a critical level.
Patients are frustrated. Physicians (GPs and specialists) are getting increasingly burnt out...
Wait times to see specialists keep getting longer and longer & health issues worsen / complications occur...
It's time to speak up & use your voice to let the government know you care about having a family doctor...
Research shows having a good working relationship with your family doctor can result in better health, earlier diagnosis of potentially serious problems, and fewer hospital stays.
- Family doctors play a critical role in our health care system, acting as the central hub for managing health or illness for patients & their families.
- Your family doctor is often your first point of contact with the health care system when you need medical care or advice about your health throughout the different stages of your life.
- Family physicians work with other medical specialists and health care professionals to deliver comprehensive, coordinated, patient-centered care.
