Bridges opening doors to mental health, diabetes services in Port

Bridges Community Health Centre will hold an open house at its Port Colborne-Wainfleet site a week from today for the community to see what services it offers.
Some of the programs are available to both registered clients and to residents of Port Colborne and Wainfleet with a doctor's referral, including its mental health services and diabetes education program. Mental health services include assessments, counselling and treatment for mental health illnesses and referrals to consulting psychiatrists and agencies as needed, said a release from Bridges.
A diabetes education program is for individuals living with or at risk of developing diabetes."Our diabetes educators -- registered nurses and dietitians -- work with clients to assess their condition and through diet, medication and exercise help them to develop the skills they need to self-manage or prevent diabetes. And there's more ... referral to Feet First, a foot care program for diabetics is also being offered onsite on a biweekly basis," the release said.
"We offer several free community health promotion programs including a quit smoking program and on-going support group, healthy eating programs, and a chronic disease self care management program and work with many partners through Safe Communities Port Colborne and Every Kid in Our Community Port Colborne-Wainfleet."
Bridges, funded by the Hamilton Niagara Haldimand Brant Local Health Integration Network, is accepting primary health-care clients. Registered clients can access a family physician, nurse practitioner or registered nurse by appointment. Doctors and nurse practitioners offer pre and post-natal care, care for the majority of illnesses or referrals to specialists as needed.
"We also have a social worker and a dietitian on staff offering counselling services to registered clients," said the release.
"Our team of health care professionals will be available to offer more information and answer questions. You can take a tour of the centre, enjoy some healthy snacks and refreshments and have a chance at winning some prizes.
