Funding for New Temporary Unattached Clinic in Tillsonburg
The Oxford Ontario Health Team (Oxford OHT) has received funding to establish a temporary clinic in Tillsonburg for community members without a Family Doctor or Nurse Practitioner.
This initiative aims to provide timely access to essential care for individuals without a primary care provider. Please note that this is not a walk-in clinic appointments will be required.
This clinic is made possible through funding from the Town of Tillsonburg & support from OHT partners – specifically the Ingersoll Nurse Practitioner-Led Clinic, Roulston’s Pharmacy – Tillsonburg, Tillsonburg District Memorial Hospital, and Thames Valley Family Health Team.
Details regarding clinic dates, location and duration will be shared in the coming weeks.
