Partners HealthCare System Office in Canada

Although we live in an era of rapid advancement in medical science, sometimes the benefits of progress are just out of reach. Even when a serious health crisis occurs, obtaining timely access to leading specialists and state-of-the-art medical technology can be challenging.

For Canadians, Partners HealthCare offers a nearby alternative. Those who seek treatment at our Harvard teaching hospitals are supported by multidisciplinary teams, including specialist and sub-specialist physicians, highly trained nurses, medical interpreters, social services providers, and patient liaisons. Working together, and backed by the most advanced technology, these teams provide world class care to every patient, every day.

From the start, Partners will work with your Canadian doctor to determine whether a referral to Boston is in your best interest. If it is, we will assist you at each step along the way: evaluating your medical needs, helping you to understand the cost of care, making medical appointments, finding hotel or apartment accommodations, and addressing any special needs. Throughout this process, we will communicate with your Canadian doctor about your condition and your progress, as well as recommendations for your follow-up care.
