CBU, NS Health partner to open Newcomer Primary Care Clinic

Cape Breton University and Nova Scotia Health (NS Health) have partnered to open a new clinic that provides safe and culturally sensitive primary care for newcomers to Canada. Located on CBU’s campus, the Cape Breton Newcomer Primary Care Clinic offers care to those who have moved to the country within the last five years, live in the Cape Breton Regional Municipality, and are without a permanent primary care provider. CBU Director of Health and Counselling Judy Kelley explained that CBU’s prior experience with providing primary health care and mental health support to international students will contribute positively to the initiative.
