Healthcare

All Canadian residents have access to health care. Canadian citizens, permanent residents, and those with a valid work permit or a temporary resident permit in Ontario qualify for public health insurance in Ontario known as OHIP. Your OHIP card covers most health services, such as services from physicians and hospital stays. If you do not have an OHIP card, you may receive services at health centres in the community, such as Refuge Hamilton Newcomer Health Centre, Compass Community Health Centre or Urban Core Community Health Centre.

  • Visit a Service Ontario location to apply for and obtain your OHIP card
  • If you are a refugee claimant, a protected person, or a government-assisted or privately sponsored refugee and are waiting to get your OHIP card, you are eligible for the Government of Canada’s Interim Federal Health Program (IFHP), which will allow you to access healthcare. In most cases, you don’t have to apply for IFHP. Learn more at canada.ca/ifhp.

It can be a challenge for anyone to find a family doctor in Ontario, so be prepared to spend some time on the search.

There are a number of services that help to connect you to a family doctor that is taking new patients:

  • For immediate emergency services and life-threatening situations, please call 911 from any phone (mobile, home or public phones).
  • There are two urgent care centres that are operated and open 365 days a year. You are encouraged to visit an urgent care centre if your condition cannot wait for a scheduled doctor’s appointment.

 

  1. HHS Main Street West Urgent Care 690 Main St W, Hamilton, ON L8S 1A4 Noon – 7:00 p.m., 7 days a week
