If you live in Hastings or Prince Edward County and don’t have a family doctor or nurse practitioner, finding the right place for medical care can be challenging, especially when your concern isn’t an emergency.
Have a Family Doctor or Nurse Practitioner?
If you have a primary care provider, contact them first for any non-emergency health concerns.
If you don’t have a family doctor, you can register for one through Health Care Connect.
Vaccination Locations
Vaccines are the most effective way to prevent serious illness from flu, COVID-19 and RSV, especially for those who are at high risk.
Many pharmacies also offer the Covid-19 and flu vaccines. For details, visit Ministry of Health’s participating pharmacies web page.
