Health and Wellness

​Chatham-Kent proudly offers quality health care and other amenities that contribute to overall health and wellness.

Chatham-Kent offers full health care services, including family doctors, dentists, specialists, and alternative medicine providers. With two hospital locations in Chatham and Wallaceburg, both part of the Chatham-Kent Health Alliance, residents have access to 24/7 emergency services.

The Chatham-Kent Public Health (CKPH) supports residents with resources, workshops, and clinics focused on pregnancy, parenting, sexual health, immunizations, and more, promoting healthy living for families.

 For newcomers to Ontario, applying for the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) is essential to access most medical services.
