For residents in the Shedden/Fingal area, access to healthcare is literally moving in.
The Central Community Health Centre’s mobile health unit will visit the Keystone Complex in Shedden every Tuesday from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m.
On board the mobile unit is a new nurse practitioner, explains Judith Wiley of the CCHC.
The clinic on wheels offers primary care, chronic disease management, community support and mental health services, with no referrals required.
Wiley refers to the unit – which was custom built through funding from the Local Health Integration Network in place at the time – “an examination room on wheels.”
The unit also serves the Aylmer area and St. Thomas, bringing accessible, barrier-free care where it is needed most.
Now you can get the care you need, close to home.
