Nova Scotia Health’s Mental Health and Addictions Program is launching a new service that is helping patients at the Halifax Infirmary get better care.
One of the QEII Health Science’s Centre’s beloved volunteers enjoys a treat and a few ear scratches before beginning her shift at the Victoria General (VG) site’s palliative care unit. Maiya, an 11-year-old Labradoodle, has her own Nova Scotia Health identification card attached to her collar, and a red vest indicating she is a therapy dog. She will spend the next hour or so visiting patient rooms, and soon after will require a nap. It’s exhausting work, after all, being so loveable.
Since the 1990s, Nova Scotia Health’s Women's Choice Clinic in Halifax has served as a safe haven for anyone seeking abortion and reproductive services. While not highly publicized, the clinic has been embedded in the community, providing care and support to countless people in need.
As the QEII Redevelopment Project continues, renovations are scheduled to begin in the emergency department at the QEII Health Sciences Centre’s Halifax Infirmary.
A new toll-free line is being rolled out as part of an awareness campaign to help reduce no shows for diagnostic imaging appointments at Nova Scotia Health facilities.
