Nurse Practitioner Services
Primary Care and Breastfeeding support
Primary care: episodic medically focused care is available by our NP to people who do not currently have a primary care provider and wish to address general health concerns. Rhonda does not provide urgent or emergency care.
Nurse Practitioners are highly educated, experienced and regulated health care professionals. Our NP provides personalized medical-nursing consultation that is informed by current guidelines and treatment principles. Care is tailored to each client’s unique needs.
Nurse practitioners have graduate level education and clearly legislated scope of practice to prescribe medication, request and interpret necessary lab work and imaging. NPs assess, diagnose and treat health concerns across the life span.

There are many ways to integrate our health beliefs to achieve positive change or to maintain good health. Increasingly people are looking for ways to use multiple services and specialties to achieve their health goals. Of course, if you currently have a primary care provider, please continue to see them for medical concerns within the traditional OHIP funded medical system. They are essential, expert care providers. However, we
want to recognize there are many in our community who cannot find a family physician or nurse practitioner right now and are looking for alternatives to bridge the gaps in care. Our NP is available to support you and your family in getting the assessment, care and support you need while you are waiting on the Health Care Connect (Health Care Connect – My Home Page – MOHLTC (gov.on.ca ) list for a primary care provider.
