About us

Welcome to Rideau Crossing Family Health Centre, a vibrant and dynamic clinic that thrives in a fast-paced healthcare environment. Our dedicated team consists of 12 experienced family doctors, all working together as part of a Family Health Organization (FHO). We are deeply committed to providing comprehensive and efficient care to our community.

At Rideau Crossing, we go beyond just medical treatment; we prioritize compassionate and respectful care that puts the needs of our patients first. We believe in the importance of actively engaging both patients and their families, inviting them to be true partners in the healthcare journey. Our overarching goal is to collaborate closely with patients and their families to effectively understand and meet their diverse healthcare needs, ensuring a holistic approach to well-being that fosters trust and understanding.

Vaccines/Immunizations

Registered patients are encouraged to schedule vaccine appointments by calling our front desk or visiting us in person. You can now request an appointment online; please specify which vaccine you need.

Vaccinations are administered by qualified nurses.

*If you receive your vaccines from public health or a pharmacy, please call the clinic to update our records and ensure your chart remains current.*

Travel Vaccines

Our clinic does not offer travel advice or routine travel vaccinations. We recommend visiting a travel clinic since vaccine requirements vary by destination. Travel clinics can assess your needs and provide the necessary vaccinations directly. However, routine vaccines, such as tetanus, can be scheduled with our clinic nurses.

If a travel clinic requires a prescription from your family doctor, you'll need to make an appointment or pay a fee to obtain the prescription without one. To streamline the process, travel clinics can fax any vaccine requests directly to our office, and they can often handle this on your behalf.

Please be aware that we do not stock travel vaccines at our clinic. Any requested vaccines would need to be specially ordered, and we cannot guarantee delivery times.

If vaccines are administered at our clinic, an additional administration fee will apply. Travel vaccinations are considered uninsured services and are not covered by OHIP.

Some travel vaccines need to be administered in multiple doses spaced weeks apart to achieve full effectiveness. We encourage you to plan ahead and start this process early. Contact a travel clinic as soon as you start planning your trip to receive all required vaccinations.
 

Important Update

Our clinic is excited to announce a transition to email communication via our secure platform, Ocean. This system will streamline the sharing of essential information and simplify the booking process, appointment confirmations, notifications for missed appointments, and requests for clinic forms to be completed by your doctors.

To ensure a smooth transition, please contact the clinic to update your information or verify its accuracy with our staff during your appointment. Your consent for this communication method is greatly appreciated. In the coming months, our staff will reach out to those who do not currently have an email address on file.

Thank you for helping us enhance the patient experience and improve our administrative communication.
