A health concern, question or something else? We often think of doctors first… but what if the better choice was your pharmacist? Often available at a neighborhood pharmacy without an appointment, this highly qualified health professional can often resolve minor issues and prescribe medication faster and more easily than you might expect.
And that’s great news, especially considering that around 1.7 million Quebecers (nearly 20% of the population) still do not have a family doctor. With an overloaded healthcare system and endless wait times, pharmacists offer a concrete, local solution, one we often forget about.
Pharmacists are front-line healthcare professionals, highly accessible without appointments.
In Quebec, they can:
In 78% of cases, pharmacist interventions help patients avoid visiting a doctor or hospital, and 68% report feeling significantly better after consulting one.
The Bonjour‑santé membership is ideal for those without local access to a pharmacist or who just want convenience. Members receive unlimited virtual consultations with pharmacists, booked quickly so they can discuss symptoms and get advice in real time.
If needed, pharmacists can assess conditions, initiate treatment, and have prescriptions delivered directly to your door free of charge. No queues, no waiting rooms, no stress.
Next time you face a minor health issue, do not wait days to see a doctor or rush to the hospital. Think pharmacist first; they are accessible, skilled, and often ready to help you quickly.
