Hi Aus-Can,
i read somewhere in this forum only & just pasting the info which i saved.
===============================================
If you do not have OHIP, you might be able to get health care services at a CHC.
Community Health Centers (CHCs) are non-profit organizations that provide primary health care for individuals, families and communities.
In addition to providing clinical treatment, CHCs may have:
* Culturally-sensitive care in different languages
* Anti-racism programs
* Sexual health education
* Domestic violence prevention and treatment
* Parenting education
* Support for teenage mothers
* Drop-in programs for youth
Some CHCs offer integrated health care, language and settlement programs specifically for immigrants and refugees.
Services at CHCs are free. All services are confidential, and some, such as tests for pregnancy and HIV/AIDS, may be anonymous. You may be eligible for services at a CHC even if you do not have a Health Card.
Find a list of CHCs in Ontario.
