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 have to access emergency rooms or walk-in clinics. Once a family is registered with the Clinic they are a patient with Bruyère for life and can continue on after leaving Bethany Hope Centre or access a wide range of services at their other locations.
The clinic has a attending physician and a nurse practitioner and works in collaboration with the BHC 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?
