A Mobile Doorway to Care

 

Hours of Operation: 7:00 a.m. – 7:00 p.m., 7 days per week.

 

Community Outreach is the third pillar of the Homelessness and Addiction Recovery Treatment (HART) Hub. Delivered through two mobile teams, each consisting of a Community Paramedic and a Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) Outreach Worker, the program serves as a mobile doorway to care—bringing healthcare and social supports directly into the community.

 

Operating from mobile clinic vans, teams provide health assessments, on-site treatment, system navigation, and connections to healthcare, housing, and community services.

 

The program includes:

  • Urban Outreach Team – Serving Belleville and Quinte West
  • Regional Outreach Team – Serving Hastings County member municipalities, Mohawks of the Bay of Quinte, and Prince Edward County

  • Post-discharge follow-up
