This page provides details on various health services available to you, including walk-in clinics, specialized health services, and guidance on where to seek care depending on your needs.
- Walk-in Clinics: Offer non-urgent care across the province. If you're feeling unwell, it’s best to contact your family doctor or nurse practitioner first. If you don't have a family doctor or nurse practitioner, a walk-in clinic is a suitable option.
- Walk-in clinics operate on a first-come, first-served basis and may close early if they reach maximum patient capacity or if there are no patients waiting
- It's recommended to arrive at least one hour before the clinic opens or book in advance where possible.
- Remember to bring your PEI Health Card, and take all medications with you (in their original container) - pills, inhalers, eye drops, patches, injections, and creams.
- Specialized Health Services: Details on how to access services such as cancer screening, mental health support, and sexual health services.
- Pharmacists can also assess, prescribe treatments, and renew prescriptions for many common ailments.
