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.
