Medical Help

For emergency medical help, go to the Emergency department at the Hospital.

Walk-in Clinic

Located in Port Hope - "the goal of this clinic is to improve access to health care services for thousands of Northumberland residents who do not currently have a family doctor or nurse practitioner ".  It’s a one year pilot program but hopefully will continue.

Location

99 Toronto Road Port Hope on the 2nd floor

Details of pilot program

Prior to visiting the clinic, you should check the website here for the upcoming schedule, or call 905 885-0062, as hours may vary each week during the initial start-up phase. Typically, service is only one or two days a week. Residents with a family doctor are encouraged to book an appointment with their physician's office to address health concerns, to maintain continuity of care.  If you have a family doctor and come to the clinic on weekdays, you risk being de-registered with your family doctor.

Physicians will be compensated through standard OHIP billing services as outlined in the Ministry of Health’s Physician Services Agreement.

Northumberland County will provide office setup, IT infrastructure, logistics, communications, and administration support. And the CHNC will contribute its significant experience and expertise in primary care service delivery, assisting with clinic nursing services, patient information technology and implementation support during the pilot.

Note that a walk-in clinic is not for emergency care. It’s a same-day clinic (when capacity allows) that handles medical problems that are considered non-life-threatening. 

Please note that if the number of patients ahead of you exceeds the capacity for medical staff to see everyone before closing time, Clinic staff will post a sign that they cannot accept any more patients that day, which may be earlier than the posted hours. Thank you for your understanding.
