Where to start when seeking medical advice and support

Getting the right health advice is a key part of maintaining your lifestyle and keeping your health on the right track. As we age, it becomes even more important to have the right people at our beck and call to answer health-related questions, and give us helpful direction on what steps to take next.

Whether it’s finding a new health practitioner, checking in with your pharmacist, or having a consultation with a specialist, we’ve put together some resources to help you find the right advice from the right people.

 

1. The PC Health app

The PC Health app offers instant access to a hand-picked network of nurses, dietitians, doctors, and other healthcare providers across Canada (excluding Quebec currently) – all from the palm of your hand.

When you download the PC Health app on your computer or smart device, you can chat with nurses and dietitians to help answer your health-related questions, or even book a consultation with a doctor to get a diagnosis, treatment, and even a prescription.

You can also participate in a wide variety of health and wellness programs, shop health products and services, and create a personalized health profile to help you hit your goals and feel your best. Even better, there are plenty of ways to earn PC Optimum™ points along the way!
