For Release - HUNTSVILLE HEALTH CARE CLINIC CONTINUES TO PROVIDE PRIMARY CARE FOR UNATTACHED PATEINTS
• We continue to see unattached patients for comprehensive primary care.
• HHCC is NOT a walk-in clinic, appointments can scheduled by calling 705-789-1744.
• Phone lines remain open.
• Patients who have a local family doctor or nurse practitioner (NP) will NOT be
seen for primary care and will be redirected to their own offices.
The Algonquin Family Health Team and the Town of Huntsville continue to partner together to
create the Huntsville Health Care Clinic, located at The Annex, 1 Minerva Street East.
The HHCC goals are to:
1) Reduce Emergency Department visits.
2) Provide comprehensive primary care to the community for those who do not have a family
doctor or nurse practitioner.
The HHCC is actively pursuing improved funding to expand and permanently sustain our
services. We understand that the need in our community is great. Growth will be based on
funding allocation decisions, which are underway.
Appointments are required and can be booked by calling 705-789-1744.
The HHCC will not be taking on patients permanently. Patients without a primary care provider
are asked to sign up on their local waitlist. Accessing this clinic will not affect your waitlist
status.
We understand that there is a great need for primary care in Huntsville and beyond and we are
expecting high volumes. Your understanding and patience is important.
Unattached patients in the Huntsville area are encouraged to register on the wait list on the
AFHT website, algonquinfht.ca and can also access virtual care and learn more about where to
get care at https://www.mahc.ca/en/services/where-to-get-care-muskoka.aspx
