Getting started takes about two minutes. Register online, pick your plan, and book a visit with your own Nurse Practitioner.

How It Works

Three steps to better healthcare

1

Create Your Account

Register at app.careand.ca in under two minutes. You'll enter your basic info, health history, and emergency contacts. Everything is stored securely and encrypted.

2

Choose Your Plan

Pick the option that fits your needs. Family Practice membership is $450+HST/year (or $50+HST/month on a one-year plan) for unlimited visits and a dedicated NP. Or book a single visit ($100) if you just need one-time care.

3

Book Your First Appointment

Select your preferred NP, location (Yorkville or Lawrence Park), and time. Most new members are seen within a few days. Virtual visits are also available.

What to Expect

Your first appointment with Care&

30 minutes, not 7.

The average OHIP family doctor appointment lasts 7 minutes. Your first Care& visit is 30 minutes — and follow-ups are 15-30 minutes. Enough time for a real conversation.

Longer Appointments

Your first visit is 30-45 minutes. Enough time for a proper assessment and a real conversation about your health.

No Rushing

Your appointment gets the time it deserves. No rushing.

Health History Review

Your NP will go through your medical history, current medications, and any concerns. If you have old records, bring them along or upload them through the app.

A Care Plan

You'll leave with a clear picture of next steps. Whether that's lab work, a referral, medication, or a follow-up.

What to Bring to Your First Appointment

Having these ready makes your first visit faster and more useful

Health Card (if you have one)

Your Ontario health card helps us verify your OHIP number for lab requisitions. No health card? No problem — Care& doesn't require one.

Medication List

A list of everything you're currently taking — prescriptions, over-the-counter medications, vitamins, and supplements. Include dosages if you know them.

Previous Medical Records

Any recent lab results, specialist reports, imaging, or discharge summaries. You can bring physical copies or upload them through the app before your visit.

Questions and Concerns

Your first appointment is 30 minutes. Write down anything you want to cover so you don't forget. There's no rushing here.
