Tele-Care Health Line

Tele-Care Health Line is your family health and support line. It is a free, confidential telephone service that you can use to get advice from a nurse. It offers round-the-clock advice and access to information from registered nurses in order to help you decide on your first step.

It is not for emergencies. If you have an emergency, call your local health centre or go to the hospital.

If you're not sure, call Tele-Care Health Line and talk to a nurse who will help you decide what to do, such as how to:

take care of yourself;
use your "Do I Need to See the Nurse/Doctor?" book;
call your local nurse, social worker or doctor; or
talk to someone in your community that can help

Tele-Care Health Line is available all day, every day, and is fully bilingual in English and French, with translation services in over 100 other languages (including NWT official languages). TDD/TTY services for the hearing impaired are also available.
