Basic Needs Guide

Health

Waterloo Region is experiencing a shortage of doctors. We’ve included a list of clinics and health centres that serve people who do not have a doctor. Another option is the Ontario Telehealth information line. This phone line is answered by nurses who can answer your general questions and offer medical advice. To use this service call 1-866-797-0000.

Even though these services are helpful, you may still need to find a doctor. The Grand River Hospital has a Medical Resources Information Line at 519-749-4300 ext 2517, which is a recorded message that gives you the contact information for any area doctors accepting new patients. The Emergency Department of St Mary's Hospital has a similar written list that you can see by visiting the reception desk. Tthe College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario can also search their membership list for doctors currently accepting patients, call 1-800-268-7096. Finally, there is the Greater Kitchener-Waterloo Chamber of Commerce that has a waiting list for patients. They will add your contact information to the list and when a new doctor moves to the area they may use this waiting list to develop their new case load.
