A new nurse practitioner-led clinic has opened in Peterborough at the Brock Mission homeless shelter. The clinic is staffed by volunteers and offers primary care to anyone experiencing homelessness. It was founded by NP Lee-Anne Quinn and Dr. Janet Kelly. The aim is to provide access to care for those who may not otherwise have access. The clinic will do the important work of helping those experiencing homelessness but it will also alleviate stress on local emergency departments by providing primary care that addresses infections and chronic illnesses before they require serious medical intervention. “We are here for the love of our practice, the love of the people and the love of the city,” says Quinn.
