VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / December 31, 2021 / EMPOWER CLINICS INC. (CSE:CBDT)(FRA:8EC)(OTCQB:EPWCF) ("Empower" or the "Company") an integrated healthcare company - serving patients through medical centers, telemedicine platforms, a medical device company, and a high complexity medical diagnostics laboratory - is pleased to open its next The Medi-Collective ("TMC") clinic location in London, Ontario. As of today, the clinic is accepting new patients.
The fully renovated 3,400 square foot location will offer family medicine, teledermatology and paramedical services such as chiropractor, physiotherapy, registered massage therapy and custom bracing orthotics. There are currently five family doctors on staff with plans to hire general practice and specialist physicians to accommodate additional services in the coming months. Support medical staff are equipped through Empower's partnership with MedX Health Corporation to facilitate teledermatology appointments. The Company plans to open additional specialist services in line with operations at other TMC clinics. TMC has also subleased space to Guardian Pharmacies, allowing for onsite pharmaceutical services and products.
"Our team has made immense progress in growing our footprint this year despite the operational and logistical challenges brought on by the pandemic and supply chain crisis," said Steven McAuley, Chairman and CEO of Empower. "We are now servicing patients in multiple Ontario communities and establishing TMC as an emerging medical service provider in Canada's most populous province. Heading into 2022 we're focused on completing the construction and acquisition of additional locations, expanding our specialist service offerings, and increasing the number of patients serviced by TMC."
"TMC's first London location is an impressive facility that we're proud to bring to the community," added Dr. Jordan Rabinowitz and Dr. Aviv Tsimerman. "Now more than ever Canadians need access to convenient, high-quality healthcare. TMC goes beyond meeting this need by providing a truly integrated, localized healthcare experience."
Empower Clinics plans to leverage its subsidiary network's products and services to offer a genuinely integrated patient experience. This includes offering patients access to products such as Kai Care specimen collection devices and MediSure diabetic management solutions.
