Referral Process
If you are a patient:
If you are interested in accessing these programs, please contact your family physician for a referral or contact Connect for more information. The Connect intake team will take 4-6 weeks to review the referral and make a decision. Please note that St. Joe’s may collect additional health information from various sources to assess the referral and make decisions regarding your care.
If you are a provider:
Connect can receive referrals from providers electronically by email or by fax. While many Ontario hospitals are on the secure eHealth Ontario ONEMail network, most non-hospital providers are not. It is your obligation to ensure that your patient consents to transmission of their information electronically, and to determine whether email or fax is the most appropriate method for transmission of your patient’s sensitive health information. Please note the Connect intake team may take up to 4-6 weeks to review the referral and make a decision.
