The Ministry of Health has made improvements to the Northern Ontario Travel Grant. Here's what you need to know.
The Northern Health Travel Grant (NHTG) Program helps defray travel related expenses of eligible Northern Ontario residents seeking medical specialist services.
What has Changed?
The Ministry has eliminated the need for a signature from the referring health care provider. This change started on December 1, 2024.
If your travel grant is dated: December 1, 2024 or later, please mail it to:
MOH- NHTG Program
159 Cedar Street, 7th Floor
Sudbury, ON
P3E 6A5
If you visited a specialist before: December 1, 2024, please drop your travel grant in the box, we will process and mail it out.
What does this mean for our clients?
If you are a client of the Wawa Family Health Team, NHTG are still available to be picked up at the WFHT, along with an addressed envelope to mail it to the Ministry of Health. We will no longer be mailing the NHTG as this can be done by the client.
The Wawa Family Health Team will be available for support through this transition.
Location
People accessing the NHTG online can find it on our Wawa Family Health Team Website under "Client FAQ -> Forms & Links" (See Below).
If you have any questions, please give us a call at 705-856-1313.
