Welcome to the Judy McIntosh Health Clinic

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.

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

“Buns” 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.
