📍 Location: 86 Angeline Street South, Unit 202B

Dr. Nkemdeme will join the clinic full-time in June and will accept patients through Health Care Connect, while also supporting walk-in services.
This new clinic is an important step toward improving access to primary care and reducing non-emergency visits to Ross Memorial Hospital.

We sure could use a few more participants! Just remember...

Not all heroes wear capes.
Some wear swimsuits… briefly… before sprinting out of a freezing lake.
Be a hero.
Join the plunge!

Would you like to be on the list for primary care at the Summit Wellness Centre?
This is how you sign up! 🙂

Looking for a family doctor or nurse practitioner? Start with Health Care Connect!

Health Care Connect helps residents find a family doctor or nurse practitioner — your primary provider for non-emergency health concerns.

✅ If you do not have a primary care provider, registering is the most important step you can take.
✅ Register online at ontario.ca/healthcareconnect or by calling 1-800-445-1822.
✅ Important Update: You no longer need to “de-roster” from your current provider.

Registering will not affect your existing care, but it helps identify those seeking a local provider closer to home.

We thank all residents for their patience as we continue this important work and encourage everyone seeking a local provider to register with Health Care Connect today.
