TORONTO — Telus Health’s mobile health clinics are being used to deliver Covid-19 testing and vaccinations for at-risk and vulnerable residents in Waterloo, Toronto and Ottawa, Telus announced today.
Through Telus’s Health for Good program, the specially equipped clinics on wheels are providing the tests and vaccines in partnership with Waterloo’s Sanguen Health Centre, Toronto’s Parkdale Queen West Community Health Centre, and Ottawa’s Inner City Health.
“Through relationships with local community centres, homeless shelters, and congregate housing facilities, the clinics have administered more than 1,500 doses of the vaccine to at-risk Ontarians, conducted 15,400 Covid-19 tests/assessments, and have supported nearly 30,000 patient interventions to-date,” says Telus’s press release.
Backed by a $10-million commitment from Telus, the Health for Good program is active from coast to coast with 13 state-of-the-art mobile health clinics operating in communities where frontline care is urgently needed.
These mobile health clinics are equipped with Telus LTE Wi-Fi, Telus Mobility services and Telus Health electronic medical record (EMR) technology which enables clinic staff to collect and store health data, examine results over time, and provide better continuity of care to patients who previously had undocumented medical histories.
