The Service Ontario Mobile Health Card and I.D. Clinic program helps students get provincial photo I.D., renew their health cards, and other needs without having to miss classroom time by having to make an appointment to go to the nearest Service Ontario office available in their area. (CDSBEO)
Students throughout the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario are getting helpful support at their own schools courtesy of a mobile health clinic program.
Service Ontario has a series of Mobile Health Card and I.D. Clinics travelling around the province. Several high schools in the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario region (CDSBEO) have received visits from the mobile clinics and more visits to other schools are planned during the next few weeks.
The mobile clinics are designed to serve students around the age of 16, helping them prepare for some of the responsibilities they will assume as adults. During a mobile clinic visit, students can renew their provincial health card, apply for an Ontario Photo I.D. card, and also learn the process for getting a driver’s licence.
Clinic staff are available to answer questions and help guide students through some of the applications processes.
The mobile clinic program help students handle these important tasks without having to miss classroom time because they might have to book an appointment in a provincial services office, either in their own community or at the nearest provincial services office in their area.
Students who make use of the mobile clinics are advised to bring all necessary documents with them, including a proof of address, birth certificate, and something that has their signature.
