Our Geriatric Complex Care program is a multidisciplinary team consisting of Nurse Practitioners, a Clinical Pharmacist, and a Registered Nurse who work closely with the Primary Care physicians and our in-house Geriatrician to manage elderly patients with complex conditions.
Our Diabetes Program provides education, tools and ongoing support for patients with Type 2 diabetes, long-standing diabetes and pre-diabetes focusing on patient self-management. We strive to make the patient an active participant in their health care.

Every day, people living in Ontario who suffer from dementia and other memory disorders go undiagnosed or under-treated. This leads to preventable emergency room visits and long wait times to see specialists, placing an undue burden on the individual, their families, and the health care system. MINT Memory Clinics are providing patients and their families with high quality, compassionate dementia care in primary care settings within their own community.
Our Primary Care Memory Clinic provides multi-disciplinary care at the primary health care level for patients with cognitive impairment. The goal is to maintain and improve the quality of life for patients and caregivers.
