Medical Clinic Resources for Migrant and
Temporary Agricultural Workers in Ontario

Introduction

Clinics

The map below identifies clinics with experience working with Migrant Agricultural Workers, also called Temporary Foreign Agricultural Workers, or International Agricultural Workers. Most of these clinics have organized their services to be accessible to workers, with hours of service such as evenings or Sundays and are locations that workers can get to (such as a local church, shopping mall, health centre). There are nurses, doctors, translators and other staff to help facilitate care.

These clinics are for a health concern that is NOT an emergency (such as pain that is not getting better, symptoms that are bothering you (cough, rash), stress, depression or anxiety, or medication for chronic health problems such as diabetes or high blood pressure.

If the health concern is an emergency, or if you or someone else is seriously injured or sick (such as a hard time breathing, bleeding that will not stop, chest pain or discomfort lasting for two minutes or more; choking, coughing up or vomiting blood, loss of consciousness or difficulty arousing someone)  call 911 Immediately.

Other Services

1. Telehealth Service through Ontario Health811

If a worker has difficulty finding or getting to a medical service location, they can call 811 on their phone. This service is free of charge, available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and will connect them to a registered nurse who can provide health advice and information, or help find additional health service options close to the caller. This service is available in multiple languages. The caller can ask for the language they need.
