Thank you to all the patients who helped us settle in to our new home at the PAHC this week! Week 1 is in the books! While we encountered a technological snafu here and there on a whole it was a successful week!

As patients come into their appointments, we are taking the time to update everyone’s new charts. Your help with this is greatly appreciated as we want your chart to reflect….YOU! ☺️

Please bring in your most up to date med list (or bring your meds in) to your next visit as this will speed up the process and ensure it is accurate!

See you soon at our new home!

We have physically left the Northwood Park Health Centre after 1.5 days of packing and after 4 years being at Janzen’s Northwood! Bittersweet goodbyes to our Janzen’s friends 🫶🏼 ❤️

We are now settling in and setting up our new spaces to welcome our patients next week!

If you need medical attention of a non-emergent nature, the Port Arthur Walk In Clinics run:
—> Monday to Thursday 9am-12pm and 5-8pm
—> Saturday 10am-1pm

Call 807-346-1000

We ask our patients to utilize this walk-in only as it is only for our patients!

Dr. Laakso and the Staff of the Northwood Park Health Centre want to take this opportunity to thank all of our patients over the last 4 years!

From the beginning, as a public walk-in clinic, to taking over the care of patients that transferred from Dr. Capricci, we have enjoyed serving you at our Janzen Northwood Location

We will be closed this week as we move Dr Laakso’s practice to the Port Arthur Health Centre (PAHC). If you have a booked appointment or phone call this week, these are still continuing as planned. We will not be able to accommodate any additional fit ins this week.

On that note, if you need care this week and cannot wait until we reopen next Monday June 9th at the Port Arthur Health Centre, please note that all patients of Dr. Laakso can now use the walk-in clinic at PAHC.

Hours of the PAHC Walk-In are:
Mon to Thurs 9am-12pm and 5-8pm
Saturdays 10am-1pm

Contact the PAHC by calling reception at 807-346-1000 and follow the prompts!

Thank you everyone as we make this transition!

Last, but not least, huge THANK YOU to Janzen’s for all of their support over the past 4 years! It has been a truly amazing clinic to work in ♥️ 🫶🏼

Not sure what Rufus the Elf is planning for treats, but Dr. Laakso recommends avoiding this mischievous elf’s baking for your health 🤔 😂
