Newsletter

May, 2022

It takes a team of healthcare professionals to help you live your best life.

In this eNewsletter we’re focusing on sharing news about our team of administrators who work tirelessly behind the scenes at Winterberry to help each and every patient live their best life. We’re also showcasing our talented team’s chalk art that brightened up our clinic sidewalks during Mental Health Week. And of course, we’re also bringing you updates on topics that will help you stay healthy throughout the summer and beyond. We’re glad you’re a patient with us and we’re glad you’re checking out our newsletter!

Did you fall behind on your preventative health appointments

Preventative health appointments are important. That’s why we’re encouraging you to book a time to come into the clinic to “catch up” on tests or annual visits that got skipped during COVID-19.  Preventative health appointments ensure your healthcare team catches any concerning changes in your health early.

Supporting the community by dressing down on Fridays

If you visit the clinic on a Friday you’ll notice more than a few of our team members sporting jeans and casual clothes. Team members donate $2 to “dress down” at the end of the week with the proceeds going toward our soon-to-be-announced clinic charity.  Here’s to dressing down and continuing our commitment to supporting our community.

Chalk it up for Mental Health

When the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) put a challenge out to the community to show support for Mental Health Week by writing messages of empathy and hope using chalk art – our team jumped right in! Our clinic manager, Krysta Simoes arranged for the art supplies and our team spirit did the rest! Throughout the week we shared colourful messages of hope on the walkway in front of the clinic – perfectly positioned for all to see and feel supported. If you need mental health support, please reach out to our office. We are here to help.
