Nova Scotia Health is providing Nova Scotians with increased ways to access care. The Mobile Primary Care Clinics and VirtualCareNS are two innovative models of care that have been implemented quickly in response to the need for primary care services. Informed by best practice evidence, they are being evaluated in real time to inform spread and scale across the province.
With the holiday season upon us, Nova Scotia Health is anticipating an increase in people looking to visit their loved ones in our facilities. With COVID-19 still active in our communities, along with other respiratory viruses, like influenza and RSV, we want to remind Nova Scotians about who is permitted to visit or accompany patients, and what is required when entering Nova Scotia Health facilities.
Nova Scotia Health is made up of an incredible team of more than 30 thousand employees, physicians, researchers, learners and volunteers who are dedicated to providing the best possible care to our patients, clients and community.
