January 2022 Pandemic Update
As Ontario moves to a modified step 2 of the province’s roadmap to reopen, CMHA Durham continues to adapt our services to meet our community’s mental health and primary care needs. Here’s what we’re doing to help keep our clients, staff, and community safe.
- Our 60 Bond Street Offices, including our Nurse Practitioner-Led Clinic (NPLC), will close from 12 p.m.-1 p.m daily.
- Signage, floor markings, and waiting areas are in place to assist with physical distancing.
- We continue adhering to all cleaning and sanitizing protocols for common areas and commonly touched surfaces.
- Face masks remain mandatory for all staff and visitors in the building.
As directed by the Ministry of Health, we continue to provide high-quality supports through blended service delivery to support physical distancing and minimize the spread of COVID-19. We continue to provide high-quality care while ensuring the safety of our clients and caregivers, front-line providers, and our community.
Our Recovery College Wellness Centre offers online courses in coping with change and assertiveness. Anyone can sign up for free at https://cmhadurham.thedev.ca/services/recovery-college-wellness-centre/
Our Nurse Practitioner-Led Clinic (NPLC) is providing medical appointments for any members of the vulnerable community who may not have access to a primary care provider. The NPLC clinic continues to provide Depot injection, clozapine, and specialized medication monitoring services.
We are providing medical supports to Mission United, a collaboration among existing service providers who work with the unsheltered population in Oshawa, to provide essential low-barrier services in one accessible location, delivered by trusted providers during the COVID-19 Pandemic.
