National Indigenous Peoples Day
June 21, 2025

LEARN. HONOUR. CELEBRATE.

Today, we recognize and celebrate the strength, knowledge, cultures, and contributions of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples.

In health care, this is also a time to reflect on the disparities Indigenous communities continue to face—and to reaffirm our commitment to cultural safety, equitable access, and reconciliation in all aspects of care.

Let’s continue listening, learning, and working toward a health system that respects and honors Indigenous voices and traditions.

🛑 Penicillin Allergy? You May Not Be Allergic After All! 🛑

Since opening our Penicillin Allergy Testing Clinic, we’ve already helped more than 50 patients safely remove their penicillin allergy label — giving them access to the most effective and affordable antibiotics again.

Why does it matter?
👉 Over 90% of people labelled allergic to penicillin are not truly allergic
👉 Carrying the allergy label can lead to:
• Less effective treatments
• More side effects
• Higher costs
• Longer hospital stays

Penicillins remain the first-choice treatment for many infections — and testing is safe and simple.

✅ Testing takes about 90 minutes
✅ Conducted in the evenings and on weekends
✅ No referral required — self-referrals are welcome!

📧 Email us to get started: allergyclinic@ptgclinic.ca
We’ll send you everything you need to book your test.

Don’t let an outdated allergy label limit your care. Join the 50+ patients who have already reclaimed penicillin as a safe treatment option!
