You may receive an official letter, email or text message from Health Care Connect asking you to confirm if you are still in need of primary care and ensure we have up-to-date information.

Please visit Ontario.ca/healthcareconnect to update or confirm your information, such as your address, phone number, or any changes to your health needs and whether you are still interested in being connected to primary care.
