Press Release

September 12, 2024

The Mohawk Council of Akwesasne’s Department of Health (DOH) is informing the community that the telehealth service with Dr. Curry will be relaunched on Friday, September 20, 2024. The service has been revamped and will now include virtual video consultations with Dr. Curry. All virtual video calls will take place through the Kawehno:ke Medical Clinic (KMC).

Dr. Curry will be assisting community members through phone or virtual care. These services will be conducted at the KMC from 10:30 a.m. – 2:30 p.m. every Friday via video conference. Any community member who schedules a virtual video appointment with Dr. Curry will be required to be in the KMC to meet with Dr. Curry. He will be able to fill prescriptions and refills, however, he will not be issuing prescriptions for narcotic medications or refill orders. Dr. Curry will not be accepting new patients as their regular healthcare provider, meaning clients will continue to see their regular primary healthcare provider.

Call the KMC to schedule your virtual or telehealth appointment. Only one issue will be addressed during each appointment. Not all clients may qualify for a virtual or telehealth appointment as some clients will require an in-person assessment with their primary care provider.

Quebec and Ontario residents will be able to utilize this service; current RAMQ or OHIP health insurance is required.

Each appointment will be scheduled in 20 minute allotments. Any community member with a scheduled appointment will arrive at the Kawehno:ke Medical Clinic where the attending nurse will take your vitals. Once this has been completed, you will then be placed in front of a camera and computer screen where you will meet with Dr. Curry via a video conference call.Please ensure to observe any follow-up instructions provided by Dr. Curry.

To schedule an appointment for the virtual video service with Dr. Curry, please call 613-932-5808.
