Health Bus

While no longer a bus, the Health Bus continues to offer Niagara residents many valuable services.

Services provided by the Health Bus are now being offered inside the buildings of our community partners.

These include:

  • treatment for minor medical conditions
  • mental health counselling
  • immunization
  • sexual health counselling
  • sexually transmitted disease counselling, education, testing and treatment
  • health education
  • illness prevention
  • general health assessments
  • prescriptions can be written when a nurse practitioner is present

The Health Bus is staffed by two registered nurse practitioners, public health nurses and a community support worker from our Community Mental Health Program.
