My Health Team RAAM Clinic Launched in The Pas, MB
The Northern Health Region is excited to announce it has launched a new service in The Pas and area. The My Health Team RAAM Clinic is based out of the Rosaire House Addiction Centre in The Pas. This project has been planned jointly with partners at Opaskwayak Health Authority and the service will be available to the tri-community area and beyond.
This new service is intended to provide primary care services for the local communities, with a particular focus on mental health and addictions services. To learn more about the My Health Team model visit My Health Team webpage.
RAAM clinics are walk-in clinics for adults (ages 18+) looking to get help with high-risk substance use and addiction. This includes people who want to try medical assistance to reduce or stop their substance use. RAAM clinics are also for people who may have substance-related health issues, such as hepatitis, pancreatitis and infections. No referral is needed.
