We've noticed a recent uptick in community members calling HSHC to ask for a referral to get an abortion. We are happy to report that this is not necessary! There is no need to delay care - you can SELF-REFER for an abortion by calling or filling out the online form for the ROSE (Reproductive Options and Services) Clinic. They will arrange for services across the province.

Not sure what option is best for you? Try out the It's My Choice tool, or call Action Canada, Abortion Care Canada, or the ROSE Clinic! They will be happy to review options with you. You can also book a pregnancy options visit with HSHC, but we want to make sure you get connected to services in a timely manner.

Did you know that community medical clinics DO NOT receive free clinical supplies from the government? 🩺🩹 From basic bandages to fancy procedural equipment, HSHC covers these costs with donations and operational funds.

You can now support HSHC by purchasing some of our regular medical supplies via our Amazon Wishlist! Thank you for relieving the burden!
