New Cold, Flu and COVID-19 Clinic for Kids opens in Thorncliffe Park as demand for pediatric health care surges

An initiative of East Toronto Health Partners, the Ontario health team serving east Toronto, the new Cold, Flu and COVID-19 Clinic for Kids launched on Nov. 28 at Thorncliffe Park Community Hub, 45 Overlea Blvd., inside East York Town Centre.

“Data from Michael Garron Hospital indicates that many of the families we are seeing in the Emergency Department live in Thorncliffe Park and Flemingdon Park, two neighbourhoods in East Toronto that were disproportionately impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic – once again proving that the issues impacting our health system do not affect all individuals equally,” Phillip Anthony, the east-end hospital’s manager of community outreach services, said in a news release.

Children experiencing urgent, severe, and potentially life-threatening health issues should go directly to MGH’s emergency department, which is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. “This is especially true for families who are unattached to primary care. By working with our hospital and community partners to open a dedicated Cold, Flu and COVID-19 Clinic for Kids in East Toronto, we hope to make care as low-barrier as possible for local residents, so children and youth can get the supports they need in a safe and timely manner.”

Another notable initiative is MGH's Child and Youth Emergency Zone, a family-friendly space next to the hospital’s emergency department that provides urgent, acute medical care for children and youth when their paediatrician or family doctor is not available. The team is also doing cold, flu and COVID-19 assessments and mental health counselling for all ages in Flemingdon Park, supporting pharmacies in priority neighbourhoods in east Toronto to ensure they have reliable emergency access to over-the-counter medicine for infants and children, and operating mobile and pop-up vaccine clinics at community centres, apartment buildings, and other locations in priority neighbourhoods in the community.

PLEASE STOP SPAMMING MY TIMELINE REPORTED THIS POST AS SPAM & MISLEADING - PLEASE DO THE SAME... It's been 3-years, these politicians are either incompetent or corrupt, so which one is it?...ScumMedia NewWorldOrder...

Absolutely no way a liberal biased, Canadian government propaganda media, nor any level of government is going to coerce me into taken any c-19 or flu vaccine. Never have never will! 🖕🏽

Hopefully it quietly closes in a cpl of day due to NO attendance!

No wonder there's a shortage in hospital lmao
