Health Services
Goals for Our Health Programs
1. To address the physical needs of the client and offer appropriate nursing care.
2. To recognize that emotional and mental stability and health are an integral component of physical health and well-being.
3. To recognize that as spiritual beings, a healthy outlook is essential to physical and mental/emotional well being.
Philosophy of Care
The Community Outreach Nurse of the Health Services at Bethany Hope uses a model of nursing care that emphasizes relationship and the wholeness of body, mind and spirit.
Buns in the Oven
Buns in the Oven is a weekly program for pregnant women. You can come to Buns in the Oven the moment you learn you are pregnant and stay until your child is six months old. Your partner is welcome to attend with you.
What’s it all about?
Cooking and eating together, learning about pregnancy and babies, and free food to take home. Our approach is casual and relaxed, no one is judged and it is a great chance to meet new friends. A healthy pregnancy helps to ensure the birth of a healthy infant. We offer a variety of supports: nutrition education, food, social support and health education.
When is it offered?
This program is available at many sites across the city. At Bethany Hope Centre, you can attend on Tuesdays from 1-3 pm.

Bruyere Family Health Clinic
YOUNG FAMILIES CAN NOW HAVE THEIR OWN FAMILY DOCTOR
When?
Fridays 9:00 am-12:00 pm
In 2014, Bruyère Family Health team launched an on-site clinic at Bethany Hope Centre, increasing the centre's capacity to provide comprehensive health care for young families. These families often have difficulty finding a family doctor and instead, access emergency rooms or walk-in clinics. Once a family is registered with the Clinic, they are patients with Bruyère and therefore have ongoing access to Bruyère's wide range of services at other locations.
The clinic has an attending physician and a nurse practitioner who work in collaboration with the Bethany Hope Centre Community Nurse.
Services include:
- primary care of parents and children
- prenatal care
- vaccines
- weighing and measuring children
- child development screens
- referrals
How do I get to see the Doctor?
