If your child is well but you would like to see a health professional, you should contact your CLSC. Your CLSC is the gateway to a number of services including vaccination, breast-feeding clinics, and referrals to other resources. It can also provide information on available services and explanations on how to access services elsewhere, if necessary.
For health advice from a nurse 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, call Info-Santé.
When your child is ill, it can be hard to know where to turn. Here’s a tip: start by calling Info-Santé. This service is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You can talk to a nurse, who will evaluate the situation with you. Then you can decide whether it’s better to
- See a nurse or doctor at the CLSC

The Info-Santé nurse can help you locate the clinics and hospitals where you can take your baby.
