Unscheduled Care Clinics

 

At Sherbourne Health Centre we understand that for people who do not have adequate housing or shelter, it is often difficult to access health care services. Sometimes it’s due to a lack of transportation, lost or stolen Health Cards, no health coverage, limited hours of health facilities, or the lack of health services that respond to the specific health needs of those who face barriers to sufficient health care and housing.

 

Walking in the door of any health or social service agency can be frightening and frustrating – especially if you are dealing with a number of difficult challenges.


That’s why we have developed an unscheduled care clinic as an outreach service to connect people who are struggling with housing issue to a variety of community resources that are available.

Regardless of the challenges you are dealing with, Client Resources workers will meet with you and assist you in obtaining the health care services you need.

 

You may be referred to health care providers at Sherbourne Health Centre, as well as other social and community services that may be of benefit to you.
