(STI is short for sexually transmitted infections)
We have Registered Nurses (RNs) and Nurse Authorized Prescribers (RN(AP)s), who can provide assessments over the phone and in-person for:
- STI and Birth Control information
- Basic STI and vaginitis testing
- Pap testing
- Prescriptions to treat uncomplicated STIs
- Pregnancy testing
- Prescriptions for birth control for those 14 to 20 years of age
- Emergency birth control
- Immunizations
We'll start by asking you some questions over the phone and answering any questions or concerns you may have. This will help us work together so you get the best care.
Some health concerns require the care of a doctor or nurse practitioner. If this is the case, we will go over your options and help you get the care you need.

Reducing Spread of Covid-19
If you need to come to our Centre, we are asking everyone to
- Answer Covid screening questions at the door
- Sanitize their hands
- Keep a 6 foot physical distance from others while in the waiting room
- Wear a medical mask (one will be provided)
What to Expect at your Appointments
- You will be placed in an exam room and a health care provider may talk to you by phone first
- We will come in to the exam room after the phone call for anything that needs to be done in-person (exam, specimen collection, treatments)
- If the care you need is beyond the scope of what we can provide, we will review what options you have for accessing a doctor or a nurse practitioner.
How to Get Your Results
- We will call you about any result that is abnormal or requires follow-up
