HealthLine is a free, confidential 24-hour health advice telephone line, staffed by registered nurses. They can provide you with immediate, professional health advice or information, and direct you to the most appropriate source of care. HealthLine can help you decide whether you should treat your own symptoms, go to a clinic, wait to see your doctor, or go to a hospital emergency room.

Immediate Access to Registered Nurses

HealthLine gives you immediate access to a registered nurse, who can provide information on symptoms, chronic illness, injury, nutrition, or healthy lifestyles. The nurse will recommend self-care, accessing of local services, a visit to a health professional, or a trip to a hospital emergency room. HealthLine nurses are highly experienced, registered to practice in Saskatchewan, and specially trained to help you make decisions about your health care options. You do not need a Saskatchewan Health Card number to call.

Quick and Easy Access

HealthLine is an advisory service that offers quick and easy access to a registered nurse. It does not replace the advice of your physician, eliminate the need for regular check-ups, or provide a doctor's diagnosis. HealthLine nurses will not provide prescriptions.

If you have a medical emergency, call 9-1-1. HealthLine is not for emergency situations.

HealthLine service is offered in English, with translation in a wide variety of other languages including French, Cree and Dene. TTY access is available at 1-888-425-4444 for those with hearing and speech difficulties.

HealthLine is a Saskatchewan Government program, with service provided by Regina Qu'Appelle Health Region.
