Mobile Health & Addictions Outreach Program
Hours of service: Monday to Friday 9:00am to 5:30pm
The Mobile Health & Addictions Outreach Team’s primary focus is to assist and provide medical care to Aboriginal people who are at high risk of homelessness. Within the Wabano Centre’s cultural approach to health and wellness, the Outreach Team focuses on the traditional concept of holistic healing. This includes providing services that encourage healing involving the whole person: emotional, spiritual, mental, physical. We believe that our wide range of services demonstrates this philosophy.
