811 Telehealth

Dial 8-1-1 to access non-emergency health information. Dial 7-1-1 (TTY), if you are hearing impaired.

What health information will I get by calling 8-1-1?
A registered nurse is available 24 hours a day to answer your health questions over the phone and will:

  • help you determine whether you require emergency or non-urgent medical attention;
  • provide current, reliable information related to your health issue; and
  • offer helpful guidance about health services available in the province.

A detailed directory of 8-1-1 health topics is also available online.

When should I call 9-1-1 instead of 8-1-1?
Call 9-1-1 or go to an emergency department when you have:

  • discomfort or tightness in the chest;
  • unusual shortness of breath;
  • severe abdominal pain;
  • prolonged and persistent headache or dizziness;
  • an injury that may require stitches or involve a broken bone;
  • a child who has prolonged diarrhea or vomiting; or
  • a baby under six months of age with a fever of 38°C (100.4°F) or higher.

How can I apply to work for the 811 service?
If you are interested in a career as a telehealth nurse or telehealth associate, contact McKesson Canada directly.
