Home AUGUST NEWSLETTER

Newsletter

August, 2022

This month Winterberry celebrates the end of summer and new possibilities.

At Winterberry we’re committed to helping you and your family enjoy the best health possible. In this month’s newsletter we’re showcasing how our clinic works to improve your future health by participating in clinical research trials. These trials are carefully designed to help researchers find more effective treatments to diseases and of course, vaccinations that help protect us throughout our lives. In keeping with our theme of celebrating Clinical Research we’re showcasing the amazing Winterberry team that manages our Clinical Trials and helps patients who are interested get involved. Also this month, we’re sharing Clinic news and highlights to help us say goodbye to summer and hello fall!

Dedicated to Clinical Research that can improve lives

As Health Care providers we believe in research. We rely on it for the care we provide and we believe we must contribute to it when we can.  At Winterberry, we are fortunate to have the team and resources to be an important part of research that can lead to better health. Currently we’re working with Moderna to research an mRNA Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) immunization. We believe this clinical trial is safe and can possibly provide you with an early immunization against a deadly disease that’s seen commonly in people who are frail and in populations 60 years plus. I encourage you to find out more about this trial and why your involvement is both beneficial to you and important to everyone. If you have any questions or are interested in joining, please call our Clinical Research Team at 365-366-6267.

Clinic Updates

At Winterberry we have a Suggestion Box that patients use to let us know when we love what we’re doing and how we can improve. Recently we were delighted to find that one of our patient’s shared some artwork with us and we’re happy to showcase one of the pieces above! In other Clinic News, if you visit the clinic in the next few months we ask that you forgive us the mess! We have a dedicated construction crew helping us clean up after summer flooding and we’re grateful for their skilled help in getting our clinic back up and beautiful again. Once the clean up is completed, we’ll have fresh and new spaces ready to welcome you back. And, one last update – our clinic was nominated in the prestigious Best Medical/Best Health category in The Spectator’s annual Reader’s Choice Awards. Voting closed last week and we thank any patients who took time out to visit the voting page.

Our team cheers on the Jays

In mid-August the Winterberry team headed to Toronto to cheer on the Blue Jays! These fun outings are a time when our hardworking and caring team can relax and enjoy each other’s company while supporting our favourite baseball team. While the Jays lost the game our team still had a great time cheering, laughing and enjoying each other’s company!

Did you know?

Winterberry has a team dedicated to research

According to the Government of Canada, clinical trials are essential scientific studies that evaluate the safety, effectiveness, and outcomes of health interventions such as vaccines and treatments used across Canada to protect Canadians from diseases. 

Clinical trials can improve health outcomes for Canadians while ensuring Canada is well-positioned to respond to future pandemics and other health priorities. 

At Winterberry we are committed to helping our patients live their best life and an important part of that is contributing our resources to clinical trials. This is why we have a dedicated Winterberry Clinical Research Team. Find out more about them in our showcase article by clicking here now.
