Finding your way around our health care system
Health care in Canada might be different than health care where you came from. An important part of health care in Canada is ‘preventative care’, which aims to keep you from getting sick. Doctors, nurses, and other people who take care of your health are called health care providers. Health care providers work with you to keep you healthy. They also help you if you are hurt, sick, or do not feel well. A health care provider will help you no matter what is making you feel sick or unwell.
