Health Services

Health services at the CarePoint Wellness Centre are provided by an on-site Registered Nurse (RN) and Healthcare Aides, with additional visits from other health professionals within and outside of Hope Mission. This ensures guests receive prompt attention for immediate health concerns, along with referrals and connections to broader medical resources if needed.

Please note: there is no Emergency Response Team (ERT) on-site at CarePoint (the ERT is located downtown), but staff work closely with external medical services whenever higher levels of care are required.

Laundry services for personal items are available in a dedicated laundry room during daytime operating hours. Guests can speak to staff for assistance and scheduling.

The Housing & Support Hub located on the main floor of the Karis Centre provides assistance with ID services.

Located on-site, the Housing & Support Hub provides a range of housing services similar to other Hope Mission locations, including Diversion and Housing First programming.
