To Enroll

For Lucas County residents who already have family physicians, please contact their office to see if they accept CareNet. If they do, please contact CareNet at 419-820-0161 for instruction on how to complete the process.

If you do not have a family physician, or your family physician is unable to see you as a CareNet member, please choose a primary care site from the application below that best meets your needs. Call that clinic and ask to schedule a new patient appointment. You will need to take a completed application along with a photo ID and income verification with you to your new patient appointment.
