Access Alliance MHCS

Open Door is a mobile health and resource program from the MWT-OHT and @AccessAlliance. We bring free, drop-in health services right into local neighbourhoods—no health card or appointment needed. Come by one of our July pop-up clinics. More information: midwesttorontooht.ca/open-door

Access Alliance will be closed on Tuesday, July 1. Please call 911 if you experience a medical emergency. We will reopen on Wednesday, July 2. Have a wonderful long weekend!

Healthy eating is key to good health. Residents of Ontario can connect with a Registered Dietitian to access free nutrition information and advice by calling 811 or starting a chat. health811.ontario.ca/static/guest/s… @ONThealth @AccessAlliance

Pride is critical! Pride is political! Are you ready to fight? 2SLGBTQI+ freedoms are increasingly under attack. We went ALL OUT July 20 because 2SLGBTQI+ rights are refugee rights, trans rights, migrant rights, & human rights. And we celebrate these rights with PRIDE.

At Access Alliance, we've stood in solidarity with refugees for 35 years. No one chooses to be a refugee; through welcoming & equitable action, we can support their journey to rebuild & live with dignity. Join us today at 1 pm to go ALL OUT advocating for 2LGBTQI+ refugees!✨🏳️‍🌈
