Eligibility
Full-time staff members and their immediate family (spouse and children), who do not have a family physician are eligible to use Employee & Family Health.
*Employee & Family Health is now accepting patient applications for the practice.
Other family physician options, click here. Other resources include walk-in-clinics.
How the clinic works: As a patient, you will be assigned to one physician, but in the event that your family doctor is unavailable, you will be offered an appointment with one of the other physicians at the clinic. The clinic takes pride in offering patient care that is both timely and professional. Please keep in mind, however, that there may be times when patient demands exceed appointment availability. The clinic members look forward to participating in your care!
Policies

- Blood tests may not be ordered over the telephone. Please book an appointment with the doctor to get a requisition for any blood tests required.
