The 3,500 square foot clinic represents 8th clinic for The Medi-Collective and hub for tele-dermatology solutions for all current and future clinics

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / April 11, 2022 / EMPOWER CLINICS INC (CSE:CBDT)(Frankfurt: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 – announced today its plan to host a ribbon cutting ceremony and open house for its 8th clinic within its The Medi-Collective (TMC) brand.

Co-located with an independent pharmacy business, the 3500 square feet flagship Etobicoke clinic will offer family medicine and serve as a hub for tele-dermatology in partnership with MedX Health Corp (MDX.V) and paramedical services such as chiropractor and physiotherapy. There are currently four (4) family doctors on staff with plans to hire general practice and specialist physicians to accommodate additional services in the coming months.

Guests will have an opportunity to explore the cutting-edge clinic and interact with senior management, medical staff, local politicians and key supporters.

“Launching 8 clinics within 2 years was not easy, but our team’s commitment to provide convenient integrated healthcare clinic solutions is essential to meet Toronto’s need for family doctors and paramedical services,” stated Steven McAuley, Chairman and CEO of Empower Clinics. “We know that patients of our clinics are now enjoying high-quality integrated healthcare solutions and we continue to work tirelessly to increase our reach across Toronto and Canada.”

“I’m still within my first 100 days leading TMC but it’s clear that we have the foundation to be a leading integrated healthcare clinic brand in Ontario and then Canada,” said Carolyn Shields, Senior Vice-President of Operations at TMC. “I’m proud of our entire TMC team today as we formally launch our flagship clinic and tele-dermatology hub, and continue to optimize operations and technology across all of our clinics to ensure that we scale with excellence.”

Today’s announcement is the latest in a series of clinic openings and follows the recent opening of a TMC Clinic in London, Ontario, which opened its doors on January 4.
