In order to ensure the protection of our patients well as that of the caregiver, we require, in addition to hand washing and respect for social distancing, the wearing of a non-medical mask by all patients authorized to present themselves at the clinic.
For those who already have a mask at home, we encourage you to wear your mask as soon as you arrive at the clinic.
For additional information about non-medical masks:
- Why wear a mask?
- How to put it on properly and remove it safely?
- Where can I get one in Ottawa?

* We're also accepting donations of non-medical masks made by anyone in our community. We would distribute them to our patients in clinic for everyday use as an additional form of personal protection against Covid-19.*
If you know anyone that would be interested in helping our community please spread the word. For any more information in regards to this, please contact Régis Girard at rgirard@esfestottawa.ca or by calling 613-590-0533 extension 205.
