About the Program
Our Urban Health Program is for individuals who are experiencing homelessness, are living on the street, or are at risk of homelessness AND do not have a family doctor or need help re-establishing a relationship with their family doctor.
Additional Details
Our team includes doctors, nurse practitioners, nurses, social support workers and harm reduction workers who have expertise serving people who are homeless, have experienced trauma and/or are living with concurrent disorders.
We offer Walk-in Health Clinics on Tuesday and Friday mornings from 9:00-11:30 a.m.
Clients can get help with:
Health issues (mental and/or physical), chronic disease management, preventative care, and palliative care
Practical supports such as harm reduction supplies, shower access and ID replacement
Navigation to mental health and addiction supports, and other social service supports
