March 25, 2020 Update

We are open… however, the Health Centre has cancelled all group programs until further notice.

Things are changing rapidly. To stay updated on our programs and services please call 519-768-1715 ext 2400 or visit our website at http://wechc.on.ca

Everyone should stay home. When you do go out, you should try to stay two metres (six feet) away from others.

We are trying to limit the number of people who come into the Centre and will try to complete appointments by telephone instead of face-to-face wherever possible.

Coming to the Health Centre? CALL FIRST PLEASE.

In an effort to best support and protect our clients, staff and volunteers, we have introduced a screening tool for phone calls and a screening station in our lobby. You will be asked a series of questions related to COVID-19 symptoms, contact with others and travel. This is a vital safety step to help stop the spread of COVID-19.

Online COVID-19 Self-Assessment

If you think you have coronavirus (COVID-19) symptoms or have been in close contact with someone who has it, use the provincial government’s online self-assessment to help determine how to seek further care.

If you are having difficulty breathing or experiencing other severe symptoms, call 911 immediately.  Advise them of your symptoms and travel history.

Contact your primary care provider or Telehealth Ontario at 1-866-797-0000 if you’re experiencing symptoms of the 2019 novel coronavirus.

Please do not visit an assessment centre unless you have been referred by a health care professional.

Do not call 911 unless it is an emergency.
