Integrated Chronic Care Service (ICCS)

The Integrated Chronic Care Service (formerly known as the Nova Scotia Environmental Health Centre) provides comprehensive assessments and care planning for individuals with complex chronic conditions such as:

• Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS)
• Environmental illnesses including Multiple Chemical Sensitivity
• Fibromyalgia

The Integrated Chronic Care Service (ICCS) is an interdisciplinary team that provides short term support for individuals diagnosed or presenting with symptoms of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/Myalgic Encephalomyelitis, Fibromyalgia, and/or Multiple Chemical Sensitivity/Environmental Illnesses.  Our team provides comprehensive assessment, recommendations and short-term interventions focused on self-management.   We offer medical, psychotherapy, dietary, occupational therapy and physiotherapy services.  It is expected that a primary care practitioner will support these recommendations. We do not provide primary care or chronic pain management services.
