The HealthLine has a new nurse practitioner virtual care service.

A nurse practitioner is a registered nurse with additional education and experience who can diagnose and treat illnesses, prescribe medications, if required, to treat a variety of common health care conditions at every stage of life.

This service can prevent unnecessary emergency room visits for non-emergent issues.

Appointments are available everyday 8am to 8 pm, including weekends at NO cost to any individual. The nurse practitioner can communicate over the phone or through video – it’s your choice..

Book an appointment by calling 811 or using the 811 NL Healthline app free through the Apple and GooglePlay app stores.
