London Cross Cultural Learners Centre presented an award to the Newcomer Clinic Team at the Health Centre in recognition of their support and collaboration with CCLC in providing medical services for newly arrived families.
The Newcomers Clinic is a collaboration between the Cross Cultural Learners Centre (CCLC) and the Health Centre. The clinic, which is located at CCLC and staffed by clinicians from the Health Centre, provides care to government-assisted refugees during their first 6 months in Canada.
There are two primary areas of focus for the clinic: 1) completing early health assessments for newcomers; and 2) providing acute care for newcomers who, in some cases, have never accessed primary care, have undiagnosed or uncontrolled medical issues, or who come with complex medical and medication records.
