Mobile Health Clinic
Overview
REACH Niagara’s TELUS Health mobile health clinic is equipped with cutting-edge technology to support its care team in providing high-quality, immediate care to clients in need. One key service offering from our collaborative team of caring professionals is system navigation. When food and shelter are not stable, attempting to navigate a complex network of program providers and social services can be daunting. From ultrasound services to one-on-one counseling sessions, this mobile clinic functions as a convenient, all-in-one healthcare solution for those who need it most throughout the Niagara region.
Other services offered include:
- Primary Care
- Counselling Support
- Select Form Support (ODSP, WSIB, Special Diet Allowance etc.)
- Would Care
- Ultrasound imaging
Who is the program for?
Equity deserving populations that have barriers accessing ‘traditional’ healthcare services, this includes, individuals and families who are:
- living in poverty,
- experiencing food insecurity,
- low literacy and/or education levels,
- precarious employment,
- limited access to health service, and/or
- impacted by mental health and/or addictions
- those recently housed but are still in need of continuity of care
How can you access the program?
We have an extensive schedule of clinics across the Niagara region that operate at regularly scheduled times and locations. Our clinics operate on a first-come, first-serve basis delivering care to strategic high need areas. We provide care often directly in our client’s time of need, right here, right now. No appointment, identification (including Healthcard), or referral necessary.
What are the benefits?
With a clinic on wheels, we can break down barriers to receiving care – such as access to transportation – by meeting people where they’re at. Other benefits include:
- Feeling safe when care is provided in a setting our clients are comfortable in.
- Providing care in higher-risk locations, we can reduce the number of calls to emergency services.
- Building relationships with traditionally underserved communities can help build trust and improve health outcomes.
