What We Do:

Winnipeg's Point Douglas Community was recently identified as the area in Winnipeg with the poorest overall health and the highest level of poverty. We, a group of committed health sciences students in WInnipeg, believe that we can make a tangible contribution to improving health in this area.

Becoming Involved:

We are very excited about involving students, faculty members, community organizations and members of the general public in both the development and the eventual operation of our clinic. We currently have several different types of opportunities, as described below. We are always interested in hearing other ideas for how you or your organization could become involved with our clinic. Please contact us if you are interested in participating in our clinic in any of these ways.

Student volunteers: We are currently looking for students from all faculties and schools who are interested in helping with the establishment of the clinic, joining the clinic’s committees/Executive Council, or volunteering for clinic events. Students from any post-secondary educational institution in Winnipeg are invited to participate in clinic activities.

Faculty members: We are currently looking for faculty members from each of the health care-related disciplines to act as advisors and contacts for their faculty or school. Faculty members from any post-secondary educational institution in Winnipeg are invited to participate.

Mentors: We are always looking for licensed health care professionals (e.g. dental hygienists, dentists, nurses, occupational therapists, pharmacists, physicians, physiotherapists, social workers, spiritual care workers, etc.) who are interested in working as mentors at clinic events or during shifts.

Community organizations: We are currently conducting a community consultation process in which we are meeting with community organizations from Winnipeg’s inner city to discuss our clinic and inner city health care needs. Please contact us if you would like your community organization to be involved in this process.

Funders:We are currently developing a funding strategy for our clinic, and we would be happy to discuss possibilities for contributing financially to the clinic. We have non-profit organization status and are able to give charitable receipts.

Thank you very much for your interest in our clinic, and we look forward to hearing from you.
