Ambulatory Care Clinics | Nova Scotia Health

Registered nurse clinic ( for IV injections/infusions such as iron, phlebotomies and such that can be a one time order or a monthly/bimonthly treatment)

New Health Information System

Nova Scotia Health's new One Person One Record system has rolled out at facilities in the Halifax Regional and West Hants municipalities, and some provincial Mental Health and Addictions Program services.

During this time of transition to a better patient-record system, our teams will keep working to get you the care you need.

You may notice staff in purple vests helping our care teams use the new system.

We appreciate your patience and understanding.
