As part of its Physician Recruitment program, Halton Region hosted the annual Docs on Ice tournament at the Sixteen Mile Sports Complex.   Docs on Ice is a provincial  organization comprised exclusively of hockey playing Doctors who descend on different locality every year to raise charity funds.   Much of  fundraising is done on a personal basis.   They are often supported by media personnel and NHL hockey players.

With the help of local volunteers, the tournament raises funds through a combination of registration fees, sponsorship, donations and special events.

Funds raised through Docs on Ice Oakville 2011 will support the Alzheimer Society of Hamilton/Halton and will be used to expand the Alzheimer Society Oakville resource centre. This year over $150,000.00 was raised for Alzheimers due to efforts of Docs on Ice.

Along with 24 colleagues we provide all inclusive care to over 50,000 patients in the Peel-Halton area. Urgent care and advice is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We staff urgent care clinics and have knowledgable nurses staffing the after-hour hot lines.

This site is not intended to provide medical advice and does not substitute for seeing your physician. It is governed by the rules and by-laws of various federal and provincial authorities. As it stands, internet communication is not considered secure or confidential.

As this changes, the website will be updated to provide expanded services.

At times, you may encounter a medical student, resident or assistant. We have been teaching in our practice for 20 years. We feel that this allows for more direct time with a care-giver, and does result in thorough evaluation of problems.

All trainees are directly supervised, and all cases are discussed usually at length, and after your visit has ended or when results are available. We feel that this may enhance care-giving.

Your personal information and medical problems are kept confidential. Please remember that the age of medical consent is 16 in Ontario. Files of children under 16 are kept with their parents. All 18 year olds have their own medical record charts. It is often a tricky situation as to how to convey information between family members.

What is important is to keep your ADDRESS and PHONE NUMBER updated in our system. Situations arise where we cannot contact you because of out-dated information.

This is vital.

Your health card is probably the most valuable document you own. It opens the door to vast health expenditures on your behalf when you need it. Other times, it tracks your journey through our system. Without it, you will usually have to pay the costs of your health care up front and then try to recover it later.

It will probably be the cornerstone of the electronic tracking when it becomes integrated. Of interest, is that we now receive notification when you use your health card outside of the MISSISSAUGA FHO. It may feel uncomfortable being tracked, but we enjoy a level of care envied around the world. If we don’t look after it, we will lose it. Report any changes to your number or loss of card immediately.
