Our Health Clinic is dedicated in memory of Judy McIntosh. Judy retired from the Bethany Hope Centre in 2017. Judy served as our Community Nurse for 6 years and it was her perseverance and dedication to our clients that brought the health clinic to fruition.

YOUNG FAMILIES CAN NOW HAVE THEIR OWN FAMILY DOCTOR
When? Friday mornings from 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.
