Our After Hours Clinic has all the necessary precautions in place to keep the patients safe during their visit. However, if you think you may have COVID-19 symptoms, please avoid using the After Hours Clinic.
Please visit this page to find out about COVID-19 testing. To help keep everyone safe, please also follow all health safety measures – keep a safe physical distance from others, wear face masks, wash or sanitize your hands often and stay home if you’re not feeling well – even if you have mild symptoms.
Please always call the clinic prior to coming to go through the triage questions.
As part of our commitment to you & your family, we operate a year-round After Hours Clinic to offer increased access to primary care exclusively for our FHO members’ patients. Our physicians work in the clinic on a rotating schedule. If your physician is a member of Brantford FHO (see here), then this clinic is for you!
Please try to avoid using other walk-in clinics as they do not routinely send reports of your visit to your primary family physician.
