Description
A program that offers treatment, care and support for persons infected/affected by Hepatitis C and/or HIV in the Region of Peel. In February 2010 the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care (MOHLTC) implemented its Hepatitis C Strategy. The strategy created 16 Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) Teams across Ontario to ensure a coordinated, comprehensive approach to the treatment and support of those living with or those at risk of acquiring Hepatitis C. The MOHLTC AIDS and Hepatitis C Programs (AIDS/HEP C Program) approached Bramalea Community Health Centre (Bramalea CHC) to operate an HCV team. On April 1, 2012, Bramalea CHC began operating Bloom Clinic to serve people living with or at risk of acquiring HCV and/or HIV. Bloom’s target populations include the street involved, injection drug users and newcomers from endemic countries.
