DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH SAME-DAY MEDICAL CLINICS
The Mohawk Council of Akwesasne’s Department of Health is committed to providing accessible, high-quality primary care across all three districts of Akwesasne. Medical services are offered at the Akwesasne Medical Clinic (AMC), the Kawehno:ke Medical Clinic (KMC), and the Tsi Snaihne Medical Clinic (TMC) — a satellite site currently operating out of Iakhihsohtha Lodge.
Each clinic provides booked telephone appointments, follow-ups, lab reviews, referrals, immunizations, blood work, and diabetes prevention and management programs. Care is delivered by Physicians, Nurse Practitioners, and Nurses using a wholistic, team-based approach that reflects both professional standards and community wellness values.
The Clinical Care Services Primary Care team now offers same-day medical clinics in all three districts, as well as evening and Saturday clinics. The medical clinic calendars can be viewed on the Mohawk Council of Akwesasne's website at www.akwesasne.ca/medical-clinics.
To access same-day clinic services, community members must call the AMC or KMC on the morning of the clinic to book a same-day appointment. Same-day clinic appointments are also being offered for some evening hours and on Saturdays. Community members wishing to schedule an appointment for same-day clinic services are to call the clinic reception at 8:00 a.m. to receive an appointment. Appointments are scheduled in 20-minute intervals and will be strictly adhered to — late arrivals will result in forfeited time slots. Please plan to arrive at least 10–15 minutes early. Medical clinic reception will notify callers when clinics are full.
