Get your free PPE start-up kit
On June 4, 2020, Ontario Health West announced an easy-to-use process to provide an initial allocation of PPE free of charge. This is meant to help you to ramp-up in-person care in a timely and safe manner, while continuing to provide virtual care as appropriate. Fill in one order form per clinic address to obtain your PPE allocation. More details are found here.
