The Port Hope Medical Walk-In Clinic provides professional, responsive same-day health care services.
The goal of this service is to respond primarily to the health care needs of residents in Northumberland who do not currently have access to primary care. If you have a family doctor or Nurse Practitioner, we encourage you to book an appointment with their office to address your health concern, to maintain continuity of care.

When to visit the clinic
A walk-in clinic is not for emergency care. We are a same-day clinic (when capacity allows) that handles medical problems that are considered non-life-threatening.
Please note that if the number of patients ahead of you exceeds the capacity for medical staff to see everyone before closing time, Clinic staff will post a sign that they cannot accept any more patients that day, which may be earlier than the posted hours. Thank you for your understanding.

About this clinic
The Port Hope Medical Walk-in Clinic is offered as a one-year pilot project through a partnership between Northumberland County and the Community Health Centres of Northumberland (CHCN).
In 2020, after nearly 20 years in operation, the original Port Hope Clinic closed. With ever-increasing need for local primary care services, in early 2024, Northumberland County Council committed to opening a clinic at the same location for one year, to assess the possibility of permanently restoring walk-in clinic services. The CHCN, with its wealth of experience in primary care service delivery, is assisting with this one-year pilot.
We thank our funders — the Port Hope and District Health Care Foundation, along with the Town of Cobourg, the Rotary Club of Port Hope, Loyalist College, and other community partners — for their generous support for this initiative.
