The Infirmary

 

The Infirmary is a short term health facility or unit where people of all genders who are homeless may stay while recovering from an acute medical condition, illness or injury. The Infirmary program provides a safe space where clients are able to rest and recover in a comfortable, supportive environment.

Health care is provided by a team including nurses, community health workers, physicians, a nurse practitioner and a case manager. We are committed to working in partnership with clients and their supports and aim to provide sensitive, flexible, holistic care.

The Sherbourne Health Centre Infirmary program is intended to augment already existing health care available through hospital and community sites. Our intent is to enhance the recuperative or recovery options for people who are homeless, with a focus on individuals with health issues requiring short term stays. The Infirmary program is not intended to replace other needed forms of health care such as emergency or urgent assessment, crisis, mental health or addiction services.

We urge you to read our referral guide, which will answer many questions about our program. Referral forms are available from the links below
