Best Care Program
The Best Care Program is designed to support patients living with congestive heart failure (CHF), right here in our community.
Through this program, a specialized Case Manager is embedded in our clinic to work alongside your primary care provider.
Together, they offer:
- Personalized assistance with diagnosing heart failure

- Medication management

This collaborative, team-based approach ensures you receive high-quality, individualized care close to home, with the tools and knowledge you need to feel confident managing your condition.
Geriatric Program
Cognitive Screening
Our goal is to gather the essential data needed to aid the primary care provider in a potential diagnosis of Dementia. Early intervention and personalized care plans are an important step towards managing cognitive health.
Fall Prevention
Falls are the leading cause of fatal and nonfatal injuries among adults 65 and older. Depending on the severity, falls can lead to pain, loss of movement and function, and even hospitalization. Our goal is to work with seniors to help maintain their independence and reduce their risk of having a fall.
During the 30-minute appointment, a Registered Nurse will meet with patients and provide the following:
- Falls risk assessment
- Education on ways to reduce the risk of falling
- A take-home checklist for self evaluation
- Connection to community programs and services
If you think this program would be helpful for you or someone you know, please speak to your primary care provider.
Hypertension Management

Services provided:
- Health assessment ( blood pressure checks and advanced monitoring)

Nurse Practitioner Primary Care
Nurse Practitioners assess, diagnose, treat and monitor a wide range of health problems using an evidence based approach to their practice. They consult and collaborate with other health care professionals to meet the needs of the patient population. Chronic disease management, health promotion and illness prevention, as well as helping patients navigate through the health care system are integral to their approach to patient care. Engaging patients as full partners in their care plan with attention to self-care to the extent that patients are willing and able to participate is an important aspect.
Ontario Telemedicine Network
By maximizing access to care and minimizing travel and wait times, virtual care makes health care delivery more human, efficient, and equitable. Working together with patients, primary care providers, and specialists, we can provide more care options and innovative solutions that help improve access to specialized care; reduce pressure on hospitals; and modernize consumer access to care.
