Change Three!
Saved the best and biggest for last!!
When Karin and Jenn opened Aridia our goal was to offload the strain on the urgent care system while providing family medicine and urgent care to the community- specifically those with no family MD.
Almost 40k residents in the area have no family doctor.
Now, we are very excited to announce a new partnership with Maple Family Health team called “Spruce Health Hub”.
Once it is open, two of our NP will be providing consistent and regular primary care services during the day taking Kingston families off health care connect and rostering them until they can be moved to a family doctor. This will be an ongoing initiative, with plans to hopefully expand as time moves forward.
What does this mean for you?
1. All our urgent care, walk in and pre booked appointments continue to operate as we always have.
2.Fee structure for those waiting on health care connect remains the same (we pray the government changes this soon!)
3.Our front street office will start to look different as Spruce gets up and running. There will be new reception and lots of new support staff
4.If you are not already on health care connect, get on ASAP. Clients chosen for Spruce Health Hub will be taken right off that list.
5.Do not call Spruce to ask to be a patient. All families will be called directly as the team gets organized
We are so excited to get started with this collab and start to make an even bigger impact for the community!
Karin, Jenn and the Aridia Team
