Niagara Region’s Find a Doctor tool helping all residents Connect to Care

The Town of Grimsby, in collaboration with the Niagara Physicians’ Healthcare Alliance, Niagara Region, and the other 11 local municipalities are coming together to encourage residents to Connect to Care and Find a Doctor, on the updated Find a Doctor webpage that helps residents locate and register with over two dozen available family doctors in Niagara.

The webpage features:

• A list of doctors and clinics in Niagara by municipality
• Contact details and locations for each clinic

Grimsby residents looking for a family doctor can explore available options through the Find a Doctor tool, which lists providers accepting new patients across Niagara. This includes Dr. Ali El-Hamouly at Newcare Medical Clinic in Grimsby, along with clinics in neighbouring communities. 

For those who require transportation, Niagara Regional Transit and NRT OnDemand provide accessible and affordable travel within Grimsby and to other areas across the region. Specialized transit is also available for eligible residents who need door-to-door support. These services help ensure that all residents, regardless of their location or mobility, can connect with the care they need.

For more information about connecting to care, the Find a Doctor webpage, or physician recruitment efforts in Niagara, please email FindADoctor@niagararegion.ca or call 905-980-6000.
