Community Health Care Options
If you do not require emergency care, there are options available to you within the community, based on your needs. Below you will find resources that may be a better option than the hospital’s ED.
The Mississauga Pediatric Care Clinic is open and available to children aged 6-months-old to 17-years-old who do not have a family physician, or their family physician does not have an after hours on-call clinic to assist with non-life-threatening illnesses (e.g. Cough, cold and flu symptoms).

Paxlovid:
Did you know? Your local hospital is still admitting patients due to severe cases of COVID-19. Over the past couple months, approximately 30 people have been admitted to the hospital each day, with the average age being 80-years-old. COVID-19 is still a risk to our most vulnerable community members. If you test positive for the virus, pharmacists can prescribe the anti-viral medication Paxlovid, which may reduce severe illness. Studies show this could be by 89% if you have not been vaccinated for COVID-19. Speak to your pharmacist to see if Paxlovid is right for you. Click here for more information on Paxlovid prescriptions.
