Health Care Connect refers Ontarians who don't have a physician to a family health care provider who may be accepting new patients. How does Health Care Connect work? Unattached patients can call or go online to ontario.ca/healthcareconnect to register with the program.
To successfully register, unattached patients must have a valid OHIP card and complete a health questionnaire to determine their need for family health care services. Priority is given to individuals who have greater health needs. Once registered, program participants are assigned to a Care Connector. Care Connectors, who are nurses employed by Community Care Access Centres, will work with family physicians and nurse practitioners who are accepting new patients.
Once an available provider is found, Health Care Connect will give the patient the provider's practice information to schedule their first appointment. Physician Incentives A Care Connector and you How to join Health Care Connect. Strategic Clinical Networks.
