North York Community Care Clinic
Our clinic provides ongoing health care for patients who do not have access to a family doctor or nurse practitioner on a regular basis.
What is the North York Community Care Clinic?
The North York Community Care Clinic (NYCCC) can connect you with a nurse practitioner on a temporary basis to ensure you receive necessary care while you wait to be connected to a permanent primary care provider (family doctor or nurse practitioner).
This clinic provides essential health care services, including health checks, chronic condition management (for diseases such as diabetes or heart disease), prescriptions, cancer screenings and vaccinations. You will receive care through our partners, Get Well Clinic and Baycrest Hospital.
What is a nurse practitioner (NP)?
Nurse practitioners (NPs) are registered nurses with advanced training and clinical experience who can diagnose and treat illnesses, order and review tests, prescribe medication and perform medical procedures. They can advise on physical and mental health supports and work closely with other providers for a whole-person approach to care.
