Respiratory illness season has landed in Nova Scotia. We’re seeing an increase of influenza, COVID-19 and RSV in the province. Here are a few tips to help you get through it:

• If possible, stay home when you feel unwell, especially if you have a fever, new cough or trouble breathing.
• Keep your flu, RSV and COVID-19 vaccines up to date if you are eligible.
• Wash your hands regularly with soap and water or use alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
• Cover coughs and sneezes with your sleeve or a tissue, and throw tissues away after use.
• Improve airflow by opening windows when possible or using exhaust fans to bring in fresh air.
• Consider wearing a mask in crowded indoor spaces or when visiting people at higher risk (seniors, infants and those with other illnesses).
• Clean high-touch surfaces such as doorknobs, stair railings and shared devices (remote controls, computers, phones) with a cleaner/disinfectant.
• Seek medical care or call 811 if you have trouble breathing, chest pain, confusion, or worsening symptoms.

Today, we join the global community in recognizing the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, a day dedicated to promoting understanding, dignity, and inclusion for all.

At the TCWC Wellness Clinic, we deeply value accessibility in healthcare. We recognize that barriers; whether physical, social, or transportation-related, can make accessing care difficult for many individuals living with disabilities. This is why our clinic remains committed to:
~Disability-inclusive care
We serve patients of all abilities with compassion, respect, and an understanding that everyone’s healthcare journey is unique. Our services are open to all members of the community.

~Flexible access to appointments
For individuals who cannot attend in person, we offer phone call appointments so that everyone can receive care in a comfortable and accessible way that meets their needs.

~A welcoming clinic environment
Our goal is to provide supportive, person-centered care ensuring each patient feels heard, safe, and empowered in their healthcare decisions.

Today and every day, we reaffirm our commitment to fostering a community where everyone has the opportunity to access the care they deserve. as well as stand in empathy and respect, supporting equal opportunities and celebrating the strength, resilience, and dignity of every individual.
