At Salvus, our mission is to provide primary health care, housing support, and service navigation to those within our community who are surviving and experiencing barriers related to homelessness, poverty, mental health, and substance use. Salvus Clinic is a different kind of clinic, our philosophy much like our name derives from the Latin word meaning “safe” to which we provide a multi team approach to care for those who feel hopeless, rejected and out of options. So along with our primary health care work we offer housing support, a blood clinic, community outreach, supportive addiction management, patient navigation and several specialized clinics in conjunction with our community partners including: Diabetic Clinic; Pain Clinic, and Spirometry clinic. Salvus Clinic’s proactive inclusive care model means that our neighbors dealing with poverty, mental health and addictions needs are being met and larger crises adverted. This has a positive impact on our community, especially when it comes to lessening the financial burdens off local health authorities, social development, and tax payers.
