Health Services – Chippewas of Nawash Unceded First Nation

Ontario Telemedicine Network (OTN)

OTN is a two-way videoconferencing system that provides patients with access to care at all hospitals and hundreds of participating health care locations across the province. Using this convenient technology we can save you the time and cost of travelling long distances for appointments with your Health Care Provider (HCP). OTN appointments with your HCP also reduce your risk of exposure to the COVID-19 virus.

The Health Care Centre boardroom is equipped for OTN videoconferencing. Contact the Health Centre to make your appointment.

Questions about OTN, or other health issues? Call Springdawn Keeshig, Community Health Nurse.
