In addition to care for our rostered patients, the North Renfrew Family Health Team offers a variety of programs and services that are open to everyone in the community. You do not need to be a patient of the clinic to access these supports.
Nutrition Classes
Our Registered Dietitian offers free group classes throughout the year on a variety of nutrition and wellness topics, such as healthy eating for weight management, lowering blood pressure, and reducing your risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
See below a list of upcoming classes and registration details. To register, please call the Family Health Team at 613-584-1037.
We’re currently planning our next round of nutrition classes—please check back soon for upcoming dates.
Women’s Health Services
We offer a range of women’s health services, including cervical screening (Pap tests), birth control, and fertility counselling.
For those without a family doctor or nurse practitioner, cervical screening is available through partners across the Ottawa Valley Ontario Health Team.
You can book your cervical screening online at rcvtac.ca/paptest or call 1-844-727-6404.
If you are already connected with a primary care provider, please contact their office directly for cervical screening.
