Primary Care Clinic

The RISE Primary Care Clinic offers medical care coordinated by a family doctor or nurse practitioner, plus additional care from a large healthcare team that supports physical, social and emotional well-being. The clinic provides ongoing care for general health concerns, social determinants of health, mild-moderate mental health conditions, addictions, and coordination of specialist care.

• Our priority is to connect Renfrew-Collingwood residents who do not have a regular healthcare provider and experience barriers to accessing care to a nurse practitioner, family physician and/or a healthcare team
• Our clinic team includes family physicians, nurse practitioners, community health workers, nurses, medical office assistants, dietitians, physiotherapists, counsellors, social workers, pharmacists, pharmacy assistants and occupational therapists

Social work, counselling, dietitian, physiotherapy, and occupation therapy are only available for RISE primary care clients by referral from a RISE primary care provider based on medical and financial need.

Pharmacy

RISE CHC Pharmacy is a non-profit pharmacy operating within the RISE Community Health Centre (CHC). We offer medication dispensing, medication reviews, pharmacist consultations, blister packing, immunizations, and medication administration. 

The RISE CHC Pharmacy works closely with the RISE CHC Primary Care patients and healthcare team. The Pharmacy is also open to members of the general public who are not connected to the Primary Care clinic.

• Collaboration with and outreach to local housing sites and organizations
• Health-related education and support groups
• A community advisory committee to inform RISE’s services

Harm Reduction

RISE CHC provides the following harm-reduction services:

• Harm reduction supplies are available for pick-up during office hours
• Naloxone kits are available for pick up and naloxone training can be requested
• Nurse Practitioners and Physicians at RISE CHC prescribe medical therapies used to treat addictions including Opiate Agonist Therapy to clients of RISE primary care clinic

As stated by the Canadian Mental Health Association, “Harm Reduction is an evidence-based, client-centred approach that seeks to reduce the health and social harms associated with addiction and substance use, without necessarily requiring people who use substances from abstaining or stopping…. Essential to a harm reduction approach is that it provides people who use substances a choice of how they will minimize harms through non-judgemental and non-coercive strategies in order to enhance skills and knowledge to live safer and healthier lives.”
