The Clinic sees children who are refugees, immigrants or have been adopted internationally, who have come to Canada within the past 12 to 18 months. Every child undergoes a complete history and physical exam. Screening for anemia, other medical conditions, parasites and infectious diseases is also offered since many of the children coming to the clinic are considered at high risk for these conditions. Some children seen in the clinic come from war zones where they lived in refugee camps. If needed, the clinic staff may also refer the child to specialty physicians, social workers and other professionals such as mental health providers.
