GAP appointments
Santé Kildare recognizes that many patients do not have access to a family physician. We collaborate with the Guichet d'Accès Populationnel (GAP) and provide daily appointments to patients registered in our territory with the Guichet d’accès à un médecin de famille. Assigned patients are collectively registered to our group and have access to our multidisciplinary team. Patient must book appointments directly with the GAP. Call 8-1-1 option 3.

- emphasize cancer screening and smoking cessation
- promote plant-rich eating
- prescribe nature (Prescri-Nature)
- decrease emissions and waste

Our team is enhanced with the addition of Cynthia Malo and Claire Tissier as Nurse Practitioners. Nurse practitioners (NPs), like family physicians, emphasize health promotion and illness prevention. NPs complement the care delivered by other health providers and are trained to provide a wide range of health services directly to patients such as annual physicals, treatment for short-term acute illnesses (ie. infections), monitor patients with stable chronic conditions (ie. diabetes), order testing and organize referrals.

- Leisure activities - sports, gardening, social activities.

Prescri-Nature
Santé Kildare doctors have been prescribing nature since 2022.
Why prescribe nature?
A growing body of research suggests that time spent in nature has a wide range of positive effects on overall health, from reducing chronic disease and stress markers to improving anxiety and depression symptoms in individuals of all ages.
What is the prescription?
2 hours per week, 20 minutes or more at a time. Research shows that people who spend at least 2 hours per week in nature report better health and well-being . When it comes to the mental health and stress benefits of nature, evidence suggests that the most
significant drop in cortisol occurs between 20 and 30 minutes of nature exposure .
The beauty of Prescri-Nature is that almost anyone can increase the time they spend in nature, regardless of their physical abilities or where they live.
