NEED A FAMILY DOCTOR?
We know finding a family doctor is not easy for many Canadians. As a matter of fact, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development ranks Canada 23rd out of 32 countries in doctor-to-patient ratio. With only 2.32 doctors per 1000 patients in Ontario, it is estimated that 1.8 million Ontarians don’t currently have a family doctor. This has been a growing problem for decades but has become a more pressing issue as the population ages and the healthcare system is pushed to its limits. This is why effective February 1st, 2023, MD Connected is launching our new Family Health Practice to better serve you and our communities.
OHIP COVERED DOCTOR’S APPOINTMENT
OHIP, or the Ontario Health Insurance Plan, is the province’s healthcare plan. Through OHIP, the province pays for many of the health services that Ontarians need. To qualify for OHIP coverage, you need to apply. Once approved, you’ll receive an Ontario health card.
MENTAL HEALTH AND WELLNESS CLINIC
Psychological wellbeing is a big part of overall health. That’s because your mind and body are interwoven; how you think affects how you feel and how you feel can affect your thinking. Seeking mental health support can positively impact your wellbeing, help you reach your potential and allow you to lead a more fulfilling life.
WALK-IN CLINICS AND VIRTUAL CARE FOR SEXUAL HEALTH
Your sexual health is important. Make sure that you have accurate information when it comes to sexual health, sexuality, and sex. MD Connected can help. We understand that there are many barriers that people face when it comes to accessing sexual health education. Our goal is to ensure that we provide our clients and patients with all the information and sexual health support and care they need, regardless of gender, age, race, and sexual orientation.
TRAVEL HEALTH SERVICES AND TRAVEL MEDICINE CONSULTANTS
When travelling outside of Canada, you could be at risk of contracting a number of illnesses that could be prevented with a vaccine. At MD Connected, we want you to be able to explore the world confidently. If you’re thinking of travelling abroad, speak with a doctor virtually at MD Connected for travel and vaccine advice.
DOCTOR’S SICK NOTES AND FORMS
There are going to be times when you need to show a doctor’s note or medical forms that confirm that you have been ill or explain why you were absent from work or school. But it doesn’t make sense to schedule an appointment and drive to a doctor’s office to get a sick note to prove that you’re ill when you still are.
