Description and links to the different types of PEIs and different drug assistance programs.

The PEI Cancer Treatment Centre (PEICTC) at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital and the Prince County Hospital Satellite Clinic focuses on specialized care and well-being for adults with cancer.

A PEI Health Card is issued to every PEI resident. You are considered to be a resident of PEI if: you are legally in Canada; and PEI is your primary residence for at least six months plus a day each year.

The PEI Cancer Treatment Centre offers a Tobacco Cessation and Relapse Prevention Program to help patients quit smoking. This program is available free of charge to both patients and caregivers of patients who smoke cigarettes, vape, or use other tobacco products.

If you do not have a primary care provider (family doctor or nurse practitioner), a physician can treat you online through Maple, a secure healthcare platform.
