Care doesn’t work if people can’t access it. That’s why @UHN and @torontolibrary are bringing mobile health clinics directly into communities - removing barriers and rebuilding trust. Because of donor support, ideas like this can become real solutions. Thank you to Mrs. Gattuso and the many donors helping make it happen. Read how this partnership is changing access to care across Toronto: bit.ly/4dZW5OB @drandrewb

Overdue for a checkup? Toronto Public Library, UHN team up with mobile clinics

The mobile clinics will offer primary care services such as full physical exams, blood pressure checks, cancer care and mental health counselling.
