Meet Cassidy Chowns
Hello and welcome! I’m Cassidy Chowns, a Primary Health Care Nurse Practitioner. Growing up in the beautiful city of North Bay, Ontario, I’ve always felt a deep connection to this community and a strong commitment to its well-being.
With five years of experience in critical care at our local hospital, I’ve had the privilege of working on the front lines, where I’ve learned firsthand the importance of compassionate, patient-centered care. This experience has shaped my approach to healthcare, emphasizing both empathy and efficiency.
​Now, I’m excited to offer fee-for-service nurse practitioner services online, bridging the current gaps in healthcare access. My goal is to provide you with convenient, personalized care right from the comfort of your home. Whether you need episodic illness care, chronic disease management, or health advice, I’m here to support you every step of the way.
Warm regards,
Cassidy Chowns, NP

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a walk-in clinic?
This is not a traditional walk-in clinic. We are an online virtual walk-in clinic. Appointments are booked through our website. We usually have availability the same day. This setup allows us to efficiently manage and address a variety of episodic health issues, providing you with convenient, comprehensive care directly through your digital devices, wherever you are.
Are you accepting new patients?
We do not "roster" patients like typical primary care practices do. We can see you if you require any of the services we offer including the virtual walk-in clinic, prescription refills, referrals and requisitions, and sick notes. To be eligible, you must be a resident of Ontario and at least 4 years old.
Do you accept OHIP?
We do not accept OHIP for our appointment fees since Nurse Practitioners are not allowed to bill OHIP for services. However, your OHIP can be used to order third party services such as diagnostics and other tests.
