Check the #WheretoGetCareMuskoka webpage to help avoid long wait times at local ER's
Muskoka Algonquin Healthcare is reminding residents and visitors that the WheretoGetCareMuskoka webpage is a regularly updated resource for finding the right care in Muskoka. It helps residents decide when to visit the Emergency Department versus seeing a primary care provider.
The MAHC says that with Emergency Department visits doubling in summer, Muskoka Algonquin Healthcare's wait times can be long.
The site, available at mahc.ca/wheretogetcareMuskoka/, provides information on community-based alternatives, primary care options, and resources for prescription renewals, mental health, and addictions.
Dr. John Simpson, Director of Emergency Medicine, emphasizes the importance of accessing the right care at the right time to ease pressures on Emergency Departments which are dealing with seasonal volumes.
