Rheumatology at Providence Healthcare
Providence Healthcare has two different clinics devoted to helping those living with arthritis cope with their condition.
This clinic is held twice a month at Providence by the Arthritis Society. It is open to anyone in the community who has a confirmed diagnosis of arthritis. Services provided by this clinic include:
- Assessment and education
- Coping strategies
- Exercise instruction
- Stanford University’s Arthritis Self-Management Program
3276 St Clair Ave. E.
Arthritis Society: 416-979-3353 ext. 3381
This program is designed to help people who have osteoarthritis in their hips or knees. After seeing wild success in Denmark, the Good Life with Arthritis: Denmark (GLA:D) program was made available in Ontario for conservative management of arthritis.
The program goals are to help people avoid surgery, assist in pain management and provide education on some of the challenges of living with arthritis. Each clinic runs for eight weeks, and clients receive 12 exercise classes in the Ortho-Amp Clinic plus two education sessions in the Scotiabank Learning Centre during that timeframe.
As of April 1, 2021, St. Michael’s Foundation amalgamated with Providence Healthcare Foundation and all receipts will be issued by St. Michael’s Foundation.
We are pleased to let you know that your donation will go directly to the organization and priority that you have designated.
