At MCA Wellness Clinic, nothing is more important than the health of our patient community. As the COVID-19 situation evolves we are continually monitoring and adjusting our protocols to adhere to the recommendations from Public Health, WHO, CDC as well as our individual Professional Regulating Bodies.
As a health care clinic we are deemed ESSENTIAL SERVICES and can REMAIN OPEN following the Ministry of Health in their Directive 2. In alignment with this, our regulatory bodies have given similar notice and we are to continue to follow these very thorough directives detailing how to safely practice.
Our practice puts the health and safety of our patients and staff as our top priority, we will continue to be open for ACUPUNCTURE, CHIROPRACTIC CARE, FST, MASSAGE THERAPY AND PHYSIOTHERAPY as we have all measures in place to protect you and will continue to adhere to changes put forth by the Ministry of Health and our Regulatory Bodies.
At this time the remaining professions that can conduct video sessions remotely, will be available for these (in particular Naturopathy). As soon as we hear from their respective regulatory bodies we will update this statement.
We will be continuously evaluating and closely monitoring the situation. We value your patience during this difficult time and encourage everyone to stay safe and healthy as directed by Health Canada.
If you have any questions please feel free to email Erin.DC@MChiro.ca or call the clinic at 416-690-2888.
Yours in Health,
