The ICCS provides comprehensive assessments and care planning for individuals with complex chronic conditions and multi-morbidities such as: environmental illness, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, functional neurologic and gastrointestinal syndromes.

The ICCS model is based on the premise that chronic disease outcomes are better managed by addressing the needs of the whole person with a focus on self-management support, with a particular focus on behaviour change. With a team of interdisciplinary health care professionals, we integrate the physical, psychosocial and environmental needs of individuals by focusing on the person instead of the disease(s)/condition(s), improving functional health and quality of life.

Works collaboratively with the client’s family physicians, diverse Nova Scotia Health care team and community supports/agencies across the post COVID care continuum. Supports access to the services and programs that enables successful plans for the client/family. The goal is to enable the client to live in their own community and have issues addressed before they encounter a crisis point and require a visit to emergency and/or hospital admission. The navigator acts as a resource for obtaining answers to questions and concerns and supports client navigation along the evolving Post COVID Care Pathways.
