NOTICE: We are temporarily closing new client intake for our primary health care clinics downtown and at Shelldale, effective immediately (February 12, 2025).
We are currently unable to assign community members to our primary providers in a timely manner, due to the large number of applicants on our waitlist. Instead, we will be spending the next few months reducing our waitlist and plan to reassess in fall 2025. Our apologies for any inconvenience this may cause. We look forward to reopening new client intake and connecting with you soon.
If you are a Community Partner or have an URGENT inquiry, please email newclientintake@guelphchc.ca or call 519-821-6638 ext 404. Inquiries will be answered in 5 to 10 business days.
