Toronto, Canada Unity Health Toronto Full time

Families living in poverty face barriers to accessing health care including transportation barriers, cultural and linguistic barriers, lack of a government health card, discrimination and stigmatization. The school system represents an innovative access point for children facing barriers to health care. It is well documented that illness, emotional difficulties and self-esteem affects a variety of educational markers including school attendance and performance. Nutrition in childhood is also critical for normal brain development and suboptimal development could have long-term consequences. Providing health care in schools may be the most direct and efficient way to ensure that all children have access to the care they need including diagnosis, management and follow up of multiple health and school related concerns. Similarly, blood testing may aid in the early detection, treatment, and management of children¿s health issues.
