⚧️ Provide safe and affirming care to transgender and non-binary patients
🩺 Manage chronic conditions and mental health interventions
🎗️ Offer preventive care: screening, immunizations, health education
🧪 Order labs/imaging and coordinate specialist referrals
🏥 Partner with physicians, nurses, pharmacists, occupational therapists, dietitians, and social workers to deliver team-based care
🙏 Thank you to our amazing NP team: Amandeep, Seana, Erin, Kristina, and all the new NPs joining our expanding team. Your expertise, advocacy, and compassion improve outcomes for our community every day. Thank you for meeting patients where they are and honouring their culture and lived experiences.
