As far as growing, there is a to expand. “We’re continuing to expand our Health for Good mobile clinic program across Canada, enabling us to support more individuals in need,” added Bélanger.
“We’re excited about offering such a wide variety of cohabitation and reintegration support services to people experiencing homelessness in Montreal through our partnership with TELUS Health for Good,” says James Hughes, president and CEO of the Old Brewery Mission.
“By coming together, we’re ensuring that marginalized Montrealer’s have low-barrier access to high-quality services to help them find a permanent home,” added James Hughes, president and CEO of the Old Brewery Mission.

Together low-barrier services will be provided by focusing on three key priorities such as Physical healthcare services and psychosocial support, cohabitation and reintegration support and rehousing.
All organizations on board seem to have thought of everything for the clinics. The mobile health clinics are decked out with TELUS LTE Wi-Fi and TELUS Mobility services.
In addition, the space has been sectioned for comfort and care. One for a patient waiting/reception area, and a second which has an examination table and workstation.
The communications company plans to increase its program commitment to $13 million until 2026.
