TELUS (T) and The Alex Community Health Centre have launched the Health for Good mobile clinic.
The Alex Mobile Care Clinic, powered by TELUS Health, reaffirms TELUS’ commitment to ensuring even the most vulnerable Calgarians have access to immediate, high-quality and compassionate care, when and where they need it.
TELUS Mobile Health Clinics operate in 22 communities across Canada and are equipped with TELUS Health electronic medical record (EMR) technology and TELUS LTE Wi-Fi services.
The clinics are backed by a commitment of $12 million through 2025. They assist onboard healthcare providers in delivering immediate and quality care, collecting and storing data, and examining results over time for improved continuity of care.
“At TELUS, we are driven by our collective desire to leverage our technological and human innovation to enable better health outcomes for people around the world,” said Darren Entwistle, President and CEO, TELUS.
The Alex Mobile Care Clinic, staffed with both a nurse practitioner and a peer support liaison, will deliver two key services to Calgary’s marginalized communities: mobile addictions management, allowing for easier access to addiction management and treatment services, and primary healthcare such as routine testing, contraception, women’s health services, STI treatment, harm reduction services, and mental health care and counselling.
“Together with TELUS, we are ensuring that more Calgarians will be able to have access to judgment-free, dignified health care, leading to better outcomes for both individuals and across the health care system,” stated Joy Bowen-Eyre, CEO, The Alex.
Since 2014, the TELUS Health for Good program has enabled over 100,000 patient visits Canada-wide, and has played a pivotal role during the pandemic, providing over 30,000 COVID-19 vaccinations, tests and assessments across the country.
For nearly 50 years, The Alex has served a community facing complex health challenges, including poverty, trauma, financial and housing instability, food insecurity, and a need for social and community inclusion.
