Family
Physician Practices are advised to inform people inquiring about
getting a doctor to pick up a form at the locations listed above
and submit the form as soon as possible to the Upper Ottawa

Registration
on the waiting list does not guarantee that an individual will
obtain a family physician. If individuals are not called
following submission of their form it means that a doctor is not
available. For that reason, people are advised not to contact
the UOVMRC inquiring about their status on the waiting list. |
