Health & Recovery Services

We provide on-site access to health care.

People experiencing homelessness often experience multiple disadvantages, including physical and emotional challenges and high levels of trauma. Accessing the mainstream public health system may be difficult due to stigma, physical constraints, or previous negative interactions.

Our clinic is staffed by over 40 health professionals who in addition to wound care, respond to drug poisonings, treat opioid addiction, help clients manage their medications and connect to health supports in the community when required.

The DI offers the following services:

  • Wound care
  • Medication management
  • Chronic disease management
  • Phlebotomy
  • Sexually Transmitted and Blood-Borne Infections (STBBI) screening and treatment
  • Emergency response
  • 24/7 paramedical support
  • Continuous monitoring for adverse effects related to drug poisonings and other medical events
  • Referrals to other DI and community supports

We’re always open
