Important notice regarding registration with our team
We understand that some recently published information may have suggested that the Eastern Ottawa Community Family Health Team is currently accepting new patients or maintaining an internal waitlist.
We would like to clarify that we are not accepting new patients at this time and that we do not maintain an internal waitlist.
Anyone looking for a family doctor or nurse practitioner must register with the provincial Health Care Connect / Accès Soins list. During registration, you may indicate your language preference if you wish to receive services in French.
Please do not call the clinic or send emails about this matter. No further information is available at this time. Calls and emails about this issue reduce our ability to manage daily clinic operations and serve our current patients.
We understand that finding a family doctor can be difficult and frustrating. Thank you for your understanding
