Niagara residents who need urgent care but don’t have access to a primary care provider can now book an appointment online to see a Niagara Health provider from the comfort of their home.
“This new virtual urgent care service makes it easier and more accessible for patients to navigate the health care system,” says Hedy McGarrell, one of Niagara Health’s Patient Partners and a member of Niagara Health’s Virtual Urgent Care Task Force, a cross-functional group of stakeholders who helped design the service. “While anyone can take advantage of virtual care, this service is especially beneficial for Niagara residents who may not have a primary care provider, and it allows patients to make a virtual urgent appointment on their phone, tablet or computer.”
By making an appointment, you can access urgent medical care through secure video for non-emergency injuries or illnesses like nausea, infections, and minor COVID-19 symptoms without having to come to the hospital.
