Joseph Brant Hospital offers COVID-19 assessment and testing. For your safety, assessment and testing is by appointment only. We do not take walk-ins.

Instructions for cancelling your appointment can be found in your appointment email. You can also cancel by calling 905-632-3737 ext. 6550. Please follow the prompts.
Please come to the COVID-19 Testing Centre at your scheduled time with your health card. You will be registered, assessed, tested and counselled about the next steps.
There are three ways to get your results:
Individuals who test positive for COVID will be contacted by Halton Region Public Health.
Individuals who are not able to look up their results online can call 905-632-3737 ext. 6550 after five (5) days to see if their results are available.
All other individuals are asked to continue checking the provincial website.
Tests completed at our clinic or drive-thru are sent to a provincial laboratory for processing. The time you wait for your result is beyond our control.
The Assessment Centre is located in the North tower—adjacent to North Shore Boulevard and Maple Avenue. Do not enter the hospital.
To get to the Assessment Centre, use the parking lot off North Shore Boulevard. Follow posted signage to the rear of the lot and park in a reserved space.
