Health Care (Mobile Clinic)
Bringing Care Directly to the Community
LIFT’s mobile clinic brings essential health care directly to people who may face barriers accessing traditional services.
Staffed by a nurse practitioner and a community paramedic, the mobile clinic offers respectful, person-centred care in the places people live and gather — without appointments, long wait times, or unnecessary hurdles.
What the Mobile Clinic Provides
Through the mobile clinic, LIFT offers:
Health assessments and check-ins
Wound care and infection support
Medication support and follow-up
Referrals to primary care, mental health, and specialist services
Care is delivered in a way that prioritizes safety, privacy, and dignity.
A Relationship-Based Approach
The mobile clinic is not just about medical treatment — it’s about trust.
By showing up consistently and listening first, LIFT’s health care team builds relationships that support better outcomes over time. People are encouraged to engage at their own pace and define what care looks like for them.
Accessing Mobile Health Care
Mobile clinic services are available through LIFT’s outreach schedule across Lanark County.
You do not need a referral to access care. To find out where the mobile clinic will be, visit our Schedule & Locations page or contact our team directly.
Why it Matters
Supporting Access, Reducing Pressures on Emergency Care
Health care delivered outside hospital walls can make a real difference to people who face barriers accessing conventional services. Community paramedicine models — like Ontario’s Eastern Ontario Community Paramedicine Program (EOCPP) — show measurable impacts on health service use and outcomes by proactively connecting people to care where they live.

Participating in these programs has also been linked to improved primary care visits and connections to home care services, helping support ongoing health management.

Similar community paramedicine initiatives across Canada emphasize preventive care and health promotion, reducing reliance on emergency services.
Ontario community paramedicine programs, such as CP@clinic, have been shown to reduce 911 emergency calls by delivering proactive, home-based support for people with chronic conditions and complex needs.
