Become a Patient
SEOCHC’s Primary Care Clinic is accepting new patients. A family doctor or nurse practitioner at SEOCHC can look after your health, not just for one visit, but over time.
There are two ways to ask to become a patient. Read both to help you choose the right one for you.
If you are unsure which option to select, we recommend doing both.
OPTION 1: Register with Health Care Connect
Most people will choose this option. Health Care Connect is a free program from the Government of Ontario. It helps people find a family doctor or nurse practitioner. It may match you with one at SEOCHC or at another clinic close to your home.
You can register in two ways:
- Call 1-800-445-1822. The call is free.
- Register online: Find a family doctor or nurse practitioner
OPTION 2: Register directly with SEOCHC
Some people will need to register with SEOCHC directly.
If one or more of these is true for you:
- You cannot use Health Care Connect.
- You tried Health Care Connect, but it is not working for you.
- You want to become a patient at SEOCHC, and you are eligible to become an SEOCHC patient.

What happens next?
A member of our Primary Care Intake Team will review your information. They will contact you within 2 to 3 weeks to talk about the next step. SEOCHC also has a Walk-in Clinic.
IMPORTANT:
Sending the form does not automatically mean you will become a patient. We review every request and look at three things: who is eligible, who needs care the most, and how many new patients we can accept.
