A New Way for Ontario Parents to Access Healthcare

It’s late at night, your child has a fever or cold, and you just want to talk to a doctor to ask a few questions. You and your partner debate whether to head to the nearest walk-in clinic or SickKids. You’re unsure if your child needs medical attention right away, but you also don’t want to make the decision alone. If only you could reach a doctor in the middle of the night and get your questions answered, you would feel so much more at ease.

The Struggles of Accessing Healthcare in Ontario

As a mom of 2 in Toronto, I know how frustrating the healthcare system can feel. Family doctor appointments are almost available (they book you an appointments for next week) and pediatricians are even harder to access- if you’re lucky enough to have one.
Sometimes, simply talking directly with a healthcare provider can make all the difference for your peace of mind.

Meet Arlo Health: A 24/7 Healthcare App

There’s a new solution, and it’s called Arlo Health. It is a Canadian app created to help parents across Canada get quick, reliable healthcare support for their kids.
With Arlo, you can text licensed Canadian healthcare providers 24/7 and receive trusted answers in minutes. Once you log into the app, you can:

Submit questions and get connected with a healthcare provider right away
Receive prescriptions and lab requests when needed
Access support that is covered by OHIP in Ontario

Why Arlo Health App Is a Game-Changer

What I love most about the Arlo app is that it complements your existing care. For just $20 a month, you get unlimited virtual consults, and everything in the app, like prescriptions and lab requisitions- is covered under OHIP at no extra cost. Arlo doesn’t replace your family doctor or impact their billing.

Think of it as a virtual walk-in clinic. Perfect for after-hours consultations without the long waiting times or the stress of dragging your kids out of bed in the middle of the night and we all have been there.

Of course, there are still situations where a walk-in or ER visit is necessary, especially for injuries. But for those middle-of-the-night questions, Arlo provides quick answers and reassurance without leaving home.

A New Way for Ontraio Parents to Access Healthcare After Hours

Available for Ontario Families Only

For now, Arlo is only available for Ontario residents and it is life-changing for parents like us. It’s a perfect example of technology making our lives as parents easier and less stressful.

And it’s not just for kids. You can also use Arlo for your own healthcare needs or even for older parents. Prescriptions, lab requests, and quick consultations are just a text away.

Arlo Cost and Special Offer for Toronto New Mom Readers
