Contact Us for our Opening Hours
June 3rd, 2022
Dear Patient,
I am writing to advise you that I will no longer be providing care at the Eastern Ottawa Community Family Health Team (EOCFHT) as of September 2nd, 2022.
It has been a privilege to be your family physician during the last eight years. I appreciate the opportunity to have gotten to know you and learn from our encounters.
Dear Patients,
This message is to address the requests for medical exemptions that have been received because of the provincial announcement that Ontario residents will be required to show proof of vaccination against COVID-19 to access certain public places as of September 22 and the implementation of vaccination policies by various workplaces.
We encourage you to get the flu shot every year. The vaccine helps protect your family and vulnerable people in our community. Influenza vaccination is helping to reduce the burden on the health care system during this pandemic time. Ottawa Public Health explains that the influenza vaccine will not protect you against COVID-19, but will help reduce the risk of catching the flu and COVID-19 at the same time, which could increase your risk of suffering from more serious symptoms.

Wearing a mask is now mandatory for all in-person visits to the clinic. Non-medical masks are another tool for protecting others, in addition to hand washing, social distancing and good respiratory hygiene.
If you already have a mask at home, please wear it before entering the clinic. If you do not have one, contact the reception kiosk at the entrance.
Please note the Overbrook-Forbes site will close from April 10, 2020 until further notice. All clinical visits will take place at our Orleans clinic starting April 10,2020.In addition, we have modified our operating hours from 8:30 - 3:30 p.m.
Due to the current Covid-19 pandemic, we are making temporary changes in the way we deliver your care. Our goal is to minimize potential viral exposure, freeing up resources to attend to those requiring urgent care.
