Bringing Health Professionals to smaller communities
It is not always easy for people living in smaller communities in Northwestern Ontario to see a health care professional. Normally, people could drive hours - sometimes through bad weather - to see a medical professional for treatment or advice.
The Mobile Health Services Team is designed to bring health care professionals to people on a regular basis so that they can get the primary health care they need right in their own community.
All visits to each community are scheduled ahead of time so clients can book appointments in advance.
We have a variety of health education events. For further details about our current program activities please check out our calendar of events.
