Convey mobile app

Starting September 2025, patients who have an appointment at select clinics at Michael Garron Hospital (MGH) can register or check in using an online app on their cellphone. The online app, Convey, allows patients to manage their appointments and self-register online. This app is available in addition to our self-register kiosks or standard in-person registration process in our Ange & Adrian Rocca Patient Registration Department.

To register for the app, you must provide your cell phone number or email address and consent to receive text or email messages when you scheduled your appointment at MGH.

The Convey app allows you to:

• View your appointments online
• Update and verify your information online before you arrive at the hospital
• Register for your appointment from your cellphone
• Receive directions to the clinic

You cannot self-register through the Convey app, if you:

• Have an invalid Ontario health card  
• Arrive late for your appointment
• Are scheduled for cataract eye surgery
• Are staying overnight at the hospital
• Need to update your family doctor
• Are receiving treatment due to a work-related injury (WSIB claim)

Patients may not be able to self-register for other reasons (e.g. to update their family doctor), and they may need to see a registration clerk in-person to update their information in our system. Patients will receive a message that the check-in was unsuccessful and they will be asked to go to the Patient Registration Department to complete their registration process.
