Appointments for Rainy River District Residents: helping those without a doctor, or with difficulty getting seen for minor issues.
Did you know there’s an option for Northwestern Ontario residents to connect virtually with a nurse practitioner to discuss minor health issues?
Our goal is to help every member of the Rainy River District find a family doctor. But in the current health landscape, other options are often necessary. We recommend the NorWest Community Health Centres Virtual Care Clinic for issues that don’t require a visit to your closest emergency department.
From simple ailments such as sinus infections, sore throats or stomach issues to prescription refills or even a review of test results, a virtual visit for non-life-threatening conditions through NorWest CHC might be exactly what you need when you either can’t get a timely appointment with your family doctor or don’t have one.
Getting Help FAQ
What can I use it for?
Remote consultations, treatments and referrals can be made for minor health issues including sinus infections, sore throats, stomach issues, minor skin problems, sexual health, prescription refills, and review of test results.
Do I qualify for an appointment?
To qualify, you must physically be located in Ontario and be experiencing only minor health issues. You should either have no current family physician or be unable to get a timely appointment due to a lack of availability.
When is the virtual clinic available to me?
You can book appointments online 24 hours a day and seven days a week. The virtual clinic is also open seven days a week with weekend access included.
