Early next week the Community Connections Van will be making some stops around Dauphin, providing a wide range of health and harm reduction services.
The Prairie Mountain Health (PMH) program works to distribute safe injection supplies, naloxone kits, condoms, resources to quit smoking, and other useful services to the community.
Tricia Turner is a Harm Reduction Outreach Nurse with PMH.
“We bring everything with us, and we are very excited to be able to come to Dauphin.”
The Community Connections Van will be providing free and confidential services on Monday at the Dauphin United Church, at 37 3rd Ave. from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.
On Tuesday, July 28 — the Van will be at the Dauphin Friendship Centre at 210 1st Ave. NE from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Later Tuesday afternoon, the Van will be distributing health supplies and offering services at Parkland Crossing at 220 Whitmore Ave. from 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.
Anyone who misses the Community Connections Van while it’s in Dauphin, can still contact Prairie Mountain Health and get connected to those services by calling the Outreach Nurses at 204-622-6220, or 204-573-0799.
