Health Access Thorncliffe Park

• Toronto, Ontario, Canada

• Senior Manager

  • Apr 2019 - Dec 2021

  - A co-led initiative between The Neighbourhood Organization (TNO) and Flemingdon Health Centre (FHC), Health Access Thorncliffe Park (HATP) collaborates with community members and local partners to lead and deliver meaningful programs and services, while bringing hospital supports closer to the community. - My focus is on partnered approaches to service delivery such as our Pediatric Health Initiative Clinic hosted at Thorncliffe Public School, a partnership with HATP, TDSB and Michael Garron Hospital (MGH). As families struggle with reduced access to primary care physicians in our community, this clinic provides a lessened wait for children in need of pediatric-developmental assessments. - In response to Covid-19, I worked in partnership with MGH and ETFPN to establish a pop-up test site in Thorncliffe Park which, as of October 2020, has allowed for 4000+ tests to be conducted locally. My team and I also collaborated to distribute 10,000+ cloth masks to the community. Show less
