Youville Centre Medical Clinic
We have been very fortunate to have the opportunity to continue to host a medical clinic on-site at Youville Centre over the past few years. Satellite clinics are independently run and not part of Youville Centre’s core programming. They are meaningful assets to the breadth of services we are able to provide for our young mothers and their children.
Bi-weekly at Youville Centre Dr. Megan Harrison, an adolescent pediatrician and Debbie Turner a pediatric nurse from CHEO offer a medical clinic with the following goals in mind:
- To provide primary medical care in an stress-free and comfortable environment for both Youville moms and their children
- To create a trusting relationship with the mothers at Youville so that they may feel comfortable seeing a Doctor for their ongoing medical needs
- To encourage Youville moms to see a consistent provider and to have appropriate follow-up for concerns, rather than using walk-in clinics for their healthcare needs
- To attend to main medical issues as presented, including physical health, mental health, and childcare concerns
- To act as a liaison between Youville moms and consultants at CHEO or The Ottawa General Hospital
