IMPORTANT: Before you consider booking an appointment with East Ottawa Kids Care Clinic, first call your regular primary care provider to determine if they can assess your child.

Our clinic is available for in-person assessment and care of children and youth with acute illnesses which include a fever, cough or runny nose.

Please contact us if:

• Your child or youth has a new symptom (fever, cough, vomiting, belly pain, ear ache, rash or sore throat), for which you would usually seek medical attention from your primary care provider, but may not be able to see them.

Monday through Friday  | 5pm to 9pm

Saturday & Sunday | 9am to 1pm

You should book a clinical assessment if you are ill and you:

• Have been directed by your primary care provider or other health care professional
• Are unable to safely monitor your child's symptoms at home
