Need free medical advice quickly!



Telehealth Ontario is a free, confidential service that is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The good news is that it is free.

The calls are handled by registered nurses. For example, they will let you know whether, you could :

  • handle the problem yourself, or

  • visit a medical doctor or nurse practitioner, or

  • go to a walk in clinic, or

  • contact a community service, or

  • go to your nearest hospital emergency room.

Important number to note :

Telehealth Ontario 1 -866-797-0000

If the matter is an emergency, do not call Telehealth Ontario, but dial 911 immediately.

So what can you call Telehealth Ontario about ?

  • an illness or injury that needs medical care and won't go away or keep coming back

  • advice on nutrition and healthy living

  • teen health and living

  • depression, suicide or other mental health concerns

  • medications and drug interactions

  • breastfeeding.

The service does not replace a visit to your doctor for an actual diagnosis or prescription nor does it replace having a family doctor.
