Preventative care means taking steps to keep yourself healthy. There are a number of OHIP covered cancer screening programs available. If you’ve ever gotten a letter in the mail about screening, get more information here:
It’s worthwhile to talk to your physician about other preventative health items that are right for your age and risk factors (like osteoporosis screening, cardiovascular risk etc.)
As we grow this site, we will add more information.
Colon Cancer Screening
If you are between ages 50 and 75 and received a letter in the mail informing you about the need for colon cancer screening, you can book a virtual or phone appointment with your physician through the patient portal.
Sometimes a colonoscopy instead of a FIT is the right choice for you, which is why we recommend you talk to your family doctor to discuss this issue.
Breast Cancer Screening
If you are due for your mammogram between the ages of 40 and 74, you do not need a requisition. Please call 1-800-668-9304 or go to Ontario Breast Screening Program Locations to book your appointment.
Some women fall into a higher risk category and require other testing. You can inquire by booking a phone or virtual appointment with us through the patient portal.
Cervical Cancer Screening
All our physicians do PAP tests to screen for cervical cancer. It is recommended that if you are above the age of 25 and have been or are currently sexually active to get screening.
You can book an in person appointment through our portal.
Prostate Cancer Screening
Prostate cancer screening is controversial and there is a lot to discuss on this subject. We recommend you book an appointment with your family physician to discuss this issue.
Preventative Care Check
