Heart & Hands Pediatric Clinic
Bringing Healthcare to You
Improving Healthcare Accessibility
The Heart & Hands Pediatric Clinic is a registered non-profit organization focused on delivering health care to underserved children through school-based health centres. The program was founded in 2019 and establishes health clinics within community schools, to provide immediate and preventative care to children and their families, with on-site doctors and allied health professionals.
The Lester B. Pearson School Board and Montreal Children’s Hospital have come together to create collaborative clinics that surrounds a child, in an environment they trust. Through a team-based approach, Heart & Hands draws on school staff, medical professionals and families to understand each child’s unique circumstances and provide holistic care solutions.
Supporting the Community
Built by the community, for the community.
Through the collaboration and leadership of the education and health sectors, as well as local organizations, we have established two pediatric-based clinics serving the Verdun and Lachine communities. Located in Verdun Elementary and Lakeside Academy our clinics also serve the broader community with a focus on the students and families of Verdun Elementary, Riverview Elementary and Beurling Academy and now Maple Grove Elementary and Lakeside Academy.
Broad Range of Health Services
Heart & Hands collaborates with a series of allied health professionals and coordinates several specialty programs that cover a range of common health concerns. The multidisciplinary team works to address each child’s unique physical, mental and social needs.
Community Centered Learning
for
Resident Physicians
Heart & Hands bridges the gap from the Resident Physician’s classroom and the community. Acting as an extension of their medical program, Resident Physicians are supervised by Pediatricians associated with the Montreal Children’s Hospital, in an environment where they gain hands-on experience facing real medical and social issues. Resident Physicians care and monitor for a wide range of complex medical and psychosocial conditions, while learning how to address and interact with the social aspects of working within a community and its’ vulnerable children.
