We are a Family Health Team comprised of Physicians, Nurse Practitioners, Registered Nurses, Mental Health Workers, Dietitians, Pharmacists, a Chiropodist, and other health professionals working together to provide primary and collaborative health care to the County of Brant and other surrounding communities. Through the Quality Innovation and Improvement Program we are involved in providing in-depth chronic disease management strategies.
The After-Hours Clinic is a service provided by the Family Health Team to help PrimaCare patients receive the non-urgent care they need outside of their Family Physician's regular office hours. Please contact your Family Physicians office and they will refer you to the Clinic to request a same-day appointment if appropriate.
We offer a free, community-wide blood pressure clinic to promote cardiovascular health in our community and raise awareness about the importance of blood pressure monitoring. No appointment or referral is required. A copy of your results will be provided to you. Please see programs for availability.
A Chiropodist is a primary health care provider, described as a foot specialist, who can assess and provide medical treatment of nail and skin concerns, including nail care, corns and calluses, perform procedures, assess and treat chronic and acute conditions affecting foot and lower limb function, as well as diabetic foot care and assessment.
In addition to seeing patients during regular office hours, the FHT offers pre-booked appointments with a Registered Nurse starting at 5 pm. Types of appointments available include routine PAP smears, ear syringing, B12 injections, newborn weight checks, STI testing, suture and staple removal, birth control counselling, TB Skin Test (reads only), and memory testing.
