Families need timely care
Parents should have practical local options when a child becomes sick and cannot wait days for an appointment.
A practical, community-backed initiative
Better healthcare access for Thorold.
Thorold residents deserve timely access to family doctors, walk-in care and practical local healthcare options. This initiative is measuring demand, building community support and strengthening the case for physicians and clinic partners to choose Thorold.
When timely care is difficult to access locally, residents often end up waiting elsewhere.
Why this matters
Healthcare access affects everyday life.
Too many residents face long waits, limited same-day options or the inconvenience of leaving Thorold for care that should be easier to access close to home.

Seniors need dependable access
Convenient primary care becomes even more important as Thorold grows and its population ages.

Frequently asked questions
What residents should know.
Why are you conducting a survey?
The survey helps measure healthcare access needs, identify demand for walk-in and primary care, and give potential physicians and partners clearer evidence of local interest.
Will this survey guarantee a new clinic or doctor?
No. It strengthens the case and supports recruitment efforts, but it cannot guarantee that a physician, clinic operator or healthcare partner will choose Thorold.
How will my response be used?
Responses will be reviewed in aggregate to understand local demand and support conversations about physician recruitment, clinic viability and improved healthcare access.
Who should complete the survey?
Thorold residents who want to share their experience accessing healthcare and their interest in better local care options should respond. One response per resident is most useful.
Can I share the survey with neighbours and family?
Yes. A broad and credible response from across Thorold creates a clearer picture of community need.
Help strengthen the case for better care.
Your response takes only a few minutes and helps turn a shared concern into evidence that can support practical action.
This initiative measures demand and builds support. It does not guarantee access, preferential treatment or the opening of a clinic.
