If you are having a medical emergency, please go to the nearest hospital or call 9-1-1. 

Appointments are required for renewals of narcotics and/or completion of letters or forms. 

 

Missed Appointments

We try to be here when you need us and ask that you attend scheduled appointments. If you do not attend appointments the PQCHC medical clinic may no longer be able to offer you service.

 

Cancelling Appointments

To cancel or rebook your appointment please call us 24 hours in advance at 613-820-2001. If arriving late to your appointment results in you missing more than half of your appointment time, you will not be seen that day.

Medications are refilled at your appointments. If you have not done so, please ask your pharmacist to fax the request to our clinic. Please allow five working days for all medication renewals.
