I'm not sure where to go

First, do you need urgent help?

Answer a few simple questions to learn which healthcare options may be available. This is general information — it is not medical advice or a diagnosis.

Warning signs

  • Severe trouble breathing
  • Chest pain or pressure
  • Heavy bleeding that will not stop
  • Unconscious, or very hard to wake up
  • Signs of stroke — face drooping, arm weakness, slurred speech
  • A serious injury, such as a bad fall or a broken bone
  • Immediate danger to yourself or someone else

CareAhead gives general information about how care is organized in Canada. It does not diagnose you or replace advice from a healthcare provider. Services differ by province or territory. In an emergency, call 911.
