About the Ancaster FHO

The Ancaster FHO (Family Health Organization) is a group of 12 family doctors, located in Ancaster, who work together to provide after hours care for their patients.

We know that continuity of care and comprehensive care are best provided by your family physician. However, we also know that medical concerns can arise when your family doctor may not be available. As a group, we work together to provide coverage for our patients after hours or if your family doctor (who is part of our group) is unavailable. Due to the after hours coverage we provide, we kindly ask you do not use walk-in clinics for your care.

For serious medical concerns or emergencies, Urgent Care or your nearest Emergency Department are the best places to be assessed.
