Clinic Finder

Helping you find routine gynaecological care near you

 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:

what to look for in a primary care provider.png

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.

How to write an informed review.png

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.

missINFORMED is a national non-profit designed to provide health education & to promote informed advocacy through evidence-based teachings and by centring the lived experiences of women and gender diverse folks. This information is not designed to replace a physician's independent judgment about the appropriateness or risks of a procedure for a given patient.

missINFORMED primarily operates on the traditional land belonging to the Haudenosaunee, Anishinaabe, Attiwonderonk, Mississauga Peoples, and the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation. However, we hope to support Nations across Turtle Island. We acknowledge that our actions contribute to the land we live on, and as such, we are tasked to be caretakers of this land and the people that inhabit it. For the individuals of immigrant and settler Canadian descent present on our team, we acknowledge that our positions on health, and our accessibility to healthcare, have been largely shaped by our own lived experiences, which encompass many privileges. We are committed to evaluate & decolonize our practices continually and do our best to incorporate the lived experiences of the land defenders and protectors within our work. We plan to use our platform to be inclusive of all women and gender diverse folks who call the geographical confines of what is currently known as Canada, home. We hope to build our organization to represent and support those with multiple identities, including but not limited to queer, trans, two-spirit, and non-binary folk, as well as those who are Black, Indigenous, or Persons of Colour. As an organization, we will try our utmost best to ensure that only individuals with lived experiences speak on behalf of their communities while still recognizing that communities of colour and the 2SLGBTQQIA+ community are not a monolith. While each member of missINFORMED brings their own experiences, education, and expertise, we are always motivated to keep learning and to keep expanding our repertoire and knowledge capacity.

Land acknowledgements like this one are a great start to decolonizing the current colonial systems by which we operate, but they are not the only thing we can do. For example, actively supporting the sovereignty of Indigenous Nations such as supporting policies and movements that give the land back to Indigenous Nations, policies that do not condemn Indigenous communities or make it more difficult for them to receive the support that they deserve, paying Indigenous people when their knowledge and emotional labour are requested, and so much more. You can learn more about the Nations you share this land with here.
