Routine Health Services

Routine health services, or nursing care, are consultation services with a nurse by appointment to prevent, screen and treat the population’s health problems. Our team administers care and treatment, provides the necessary teaching and ensures follow-up in conjunction with the different services (home care, hospital, medical clinic, etc.). These services provide a quick response to people with specific health needs, with or without a medical prescription.
