Neighbourhood Health and Wellness Hubs

⚠ Our Vaccination Services in Neighbourhood Health and Wellness Hubs are busier than normal due to our required work of reviewing students’ immunization records for school immunization requirements. Services are being prioritized for students with a suspension notice from Ottawa Public Health to support families in avoiding missed school days. Other families accessing vaccination services may be required to wait longer than expected, directed to other community options, or asked to return on another day.  

 If you would like to ensure you get seen for routine vaccination services at a time that works for you, please book an appointment through the Kids Come First Vaccinate and Up to Date clinic booking webpage. Appointments are released regularly, if you do not see an appointment time that works for you, please check back frequently. For information on other community options for COVID-19 vaccination visit our COVID-19 vaccine page.

Immunization services provided:

• All immunization services are provided on a drop-in basis to residents who face barriers to access.
• Please try to arrive 30 minutes before clinic close at break and/or end of day. We try our best to see all clients, however if the hub location you are visiting is very busy and reaches maximum capacity for the day, you may be offered to visit another clinic or asked to return on the next available date. 
• Support is also available by calling 613-580-6744 and speaking to a public health nurse if you have questions about your child’s vaccination needs or vaccination record. Calls will be answered Monday to Friday from 9:00 am to noon and 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm.

Champlain Screening Outreach Program

The Champlain Screening Outreach Program helps people get access to cancer screening services. This program is for individuals in Eastern Ontario without a family doctor or nurse practitioner. Individuals can access screening for breast, cervical, colorectal, and lung cancer based on provincial eligibility criteria.

Find out more about who can get cancer screening, and how to make an appointment.

Neighbourhood Health and Wellness Hubs can help check eligibility and book an appointment.

Please note: To be eligible for screening services, you must have Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) or Interim Federal Health Program coverage (IFHP). The Champlain Screening Outreach does not offer primary care services or diagnostic services. If you have a current medical complaint, please access care through available walk-in clinics.
