Ideas for improving individual healthcare, Development

In non-consolidated areas, finding local health services can be complicated. This site provides a simple interface to find nearby services. In recent mobile and desktop Web browsers, the current location will be identified, or it can be manually entered. Then the nearest services will be identified. Individuals can also enter comments about their experiences about service providers.

Select the service type and enter your location. The list of services is not complete; enter submissions here.

For emergency services, statistics are provided, where available to help individuals find the best provider. The statistics are scraped from http://www.santemontreal.qc.ca/En/infoexpress/urgence.html

As the app is under development, if you're having problems viewing the page, here's a screenshot:
