Online appointment booking allows you to create, reschedule or cancel your normal appointments online instead of calling your health care provider’s office to book an appointment. 

By using the online appointment booking services, you will also be able to provide patient satisfaction and feedback directly through the portal, and have your provider easily generate eReferrals. 

With online appointment booking, you also no longer need to call your provider within office hours to book an appointment. You can schedule your appointments using the online booking platform anywhere, anytime. When you book online, you will also receive email or text reminders so you never miss an upcoming appointment.

Registered patients of healthcare providers participating in this pilot program are eligible to book their appointments using the online booking platform. Select providers at Kawartha North Family Health Team, City of Kawartha Lakes Family Health Team and Community Care Community Health Centre will be offering online appointment booking.
