WellFort is seeking a Registered Nurse (RN) for our Homeless Health Program
Multiple Full-Time and Part-Time Roles, permanent and contract available.
WellFort is a non-profit, values-based organization that provides health promotion and prevention programs, primary and oral health care and works with local residents and other agencies to increase community capacity.
HOMELESS HEALTH PROGRAM
The Homeless Health Program is a Nurse Practitioner-led initiative that provides essential healthcare services to individuals who are homeless, precariously housed, or transitioning out of homelessness in the Peel Region. We understand the unique challenges faced by those without stable housing, and our goal is to make healthcare accessible, integrated, and responsive.
Our dedicated team includes Nurse Practitioners, Registered Nurses, Registered Practical Nurses, and Personal Support Workers, all working together to ensure our patients receive the care they need, where and when they need it. We remove barriers to care for those facing housing instability and poor health.
The program manages 45 medical beds at the Dundas Street Shelter, providing 24/7 care, as well as daytime mobile primary care services at other shelters and drop-ins across the region.
By providing these services, we help hospitals make the best use of their emergency and acute care resources. Patients who no longer need to stay in the hospital but still require medical support can continue their recovery in a shelter bed with healthcare services. We also offer additional support for people in shelters who may need extra medical attention, helping to prevent unnecessary hospital visits.
Our medical services include:
Care for chronic conditions like diabetes
Medication management
Support for substance withdrawal and pain management
Wound care
Mental health services and stabilization
Chiropody (foot care)
Monitoring and support after hospital stays
This program ensures that structurally vulnerable populations in our community have access to the care they deserve, improving overall health and wellbeing.
