What is Gynaecological Care?
​
Gynaecological care focuses on providing sexual and reproductive health care for individuals who have female anatomy and/or those who were assigned female at birth (1, 2). What this means is that if you currently have or have ever had a uterus, ovaries, vagina, cervix, vulva, and/or breast tissue, you may need gynaecological care. Routine forms of gynaecological care (like Pap tests and STI/STD checks) can be provided through some (but not all) primary care offices or walk-in clinics. Our goal is to connect you to clinics who will meet these needs. For the purposes of our Clinic Finder, gynaecological care does not include pregnancy-focused care (like perinatal care or fertility support) or abortion services.
What is the Clinic Finder and How Do You Use It?
​
Determining which clinics provide routine gynaecological care in Canada is not easy. missINFORMED’s Clinic Finder Initiative is a searchable database of Ontario walk-in clinics and primary care provider offices that offer gynaecological care. Our database includes clinics that provide specific care like Pap tests and and IUD insertions, and treatment for specific conditions like endometriosis. Our aim is to help patients find providers who can meet their healthcare needs and reduce the number of inquiries clinics receive about what care they provide. This project was inspired by the overwhelmingly positive response we received for our resource on
accessing gynaecological care in Canada.
​
​
It's easy to use the Clinic Finder. Simply search for clinics closest to your geographical area by typing in your home address or desired postal code. If you are looking for a particular service or condition, please filter by our categories to refine your search to clinics that offer the services you need. Please note that these categories represent many common types (but not all) of gynaecological care and conditions.

The following resources are designed to support you in your health care journey:
Finding a primary care provider (PCP) or walk-in clinic can be an overwhelming experience. Primary care services represent your entry point into the healthcare system, and a link to all necessary health care services, so it is important to find a provider you can trust.
It can be overwhelming trying to navigate the healthcare system, especially if you have concerns about your health. Having a planned place where you can go for care, whether it is a primary care provider or walk-in clinic, will hopefully help to lessen the burden if you need care in the future.
Reviews are a great way to inform a health care professional on what they’re doing well and on where they may need improvement. Reviews can support health care professionals to provide the best care possible to you and towards their future patients.
This initiative is supported by the Government of Canada.
