Non-Insured Walk-in Clinic

The Non-Insured Walk-in Clinic (NIWIC) offers confidential primary care services to people who do not have health insurance. We now offer you care on a “walk-in’’ and appointment basis – see our hours below.

We do not charge for the care we provide. The clinic team providing care includes a Nurse Practitioner (NP), nurse, midwife, secretary and peer health support worker. The Midwife is available on Thursdays from 12 pm to 7:30 pm. The NIWIC is closed on all statutory holidays.

We are located at AccessPoint on Jane, 761 Jane Street (2nd Floor). Our number is 416- 760-8677.

When you come to the clinic please wear a mask and bring a list of any medications you may be taking and any medical records that may be important for our team to know about your health.
