London Ontario is southwestern Ontario's largest health and research centre — anchored by Western University, Schulich School of Medicine, Robarts Research Institute, London Health Sciences Centre, and St. Joseph's Health Care London. ATMA CENA's London member clinic is New Track Selfcare at Mogenson Centre, Western Discovery Park, 100 Collip Circle Suite 105 — a research-district location consistent with London's status as a SW Ontario health and research hub. St. Joseph's Health Care London operates an IV ketamine infusion program for chronic pain (CRPS) only, not for psychiatric indications. No publicly funded outpatient psychiatric ketamine program exists in London. The CPSO Out-of-Hospital Premises Inspection Program (OHPIP) governs IV ketamine; WSIB Ontario has the most-developed Canadian workers' compensation pathway. London serves SW Ontario referrals (Sarnia, Windsor, Chatham, Stratford, Owen Sound). This article walks through the London landscape across all psychedelic-assisted therapy substances.
