☕🌼 We're looking for community sponsors to help bring Pop-Up Memory Cafés to communities across the Burin Peninsula.

These private gatherings will provide a warm, welcoming space where people living with dementia and their caregivers can enjoy conversation, connection, and support in a dementia-friendly environment. 🥰

A sponsorship of $250 helps cover the cost of hosting one Memory Café, including complimentary tea, coffee, and light refreshments for participants.

If your business or organization would like to help create moments of connection and belonging for local families, we'd love to hear from you.

A cup of tea. A caring space. A community that understands.

From Dr. McCarthy:

Thanks to everyone for the interest in my clinic. I appreciate how difficult it is to find a family doctor and am looking forward to helping to fill some of the gaps in our region. Please note that all patients will be taken from the Patient Connect waitlist in a transparent process. As Kayla works through this list, you may receive a call inviting you to attach to my practice. This will be happening over the next several months. If you have not yet signed up to Patient Connect, please take the time to do so to ensure your name is placed on the waitlist. We thank you for your patience and understanding.

Added:
Furthermore, Dr. FitzPatrick is not accepting any new patients at this time. Please refrain from calling or visiting the office unless you are an established patient of the clinic. PLEASE do not call to ask whether you are on Dr. McCarthy's list. We will not be able to tell you, and you will only get a call if you are accepted.
Thanks! - Dr. FitzPatrick

🚨🚨🚨🚨

NL Health Services is transferring to a new digital health information system on April 25, 2026. We are taking measures to continue clinical operations as usual for most services. It’s important to note that no appointments will be cancelled because of launch.

NL Health Services has intentionally designed a transition period around the launch of CorCare. This phased approach creates time within the day for anticipated slowdowns as physicians and staff learn new ways of working, followed by a planned recovery period. To learn more, please visit https://nlhealthservices.ca/corcare/.

Our office will be closed today, Friday April 10th and will reopen on Monday April 13th.
