This past summer, CarePoint Health was proud to partner with Mississauga Health and CareFirst Ontario on the launch of the mobile cancer screening bus at three events across Mississauga, bringing vital preventive health services directly to the community. Our nurse practitioners led education and screening for breast, cervical, and colorectal cancer in a private, mobile vehicle. Community and healthcare staff were able to receive care in a comfortable and safe space. One of the events in partnership with Partners Community Health (PCH), welcomed the Honourable Natalia Kusendova-Bashta, Minister of Long-Term Care, who toured the mobile unit and met with our nurses and Dr. Sundeep Banwatt, Clinical Director, to discuss the importance of early detection for frontline staff. “By bringing these essential services directly to where people work and live, we're removing barriers to preventive care and empowering individuals to take charge of their health,” explains Andrew Bilton, Executive Director, CarePoint Health. “A partnership like this represents our ongoing commitment to innovative, community-centered healthcare delivery." Over the course of the day, over 20 staff from PCH attended screening appointments and learned about cancer prevention, while many more stopped by to access education and resources from community partners.

In honour of Indigenous History Month and Indigenous Peoples Day, we spoke with Karry Anne, OSP Indigenous Lead, about her role and the significance of this month.
Walking through our clinic on open house day brought a unique energy that's difficult to describe.
