The Simcoe Reformer RAAM clinics (like ours in Simcoe) are committed to being a path to wellness. We have many services besides methadone, such as counselling, case management and referrals to other services. simcoereformer.ca/news/local-new…

From article: "In recent years, Norfolk council has debated whether methadone clinics are compatible with the general commercial character of the core. Local businesses have complained that the clinics hurt commerce by significantly altering the character of downtown Simcoe."

This is stigmatizing and not person-centered. Let's work together to help people achieve wellness at home in *their* community.

Wow! Isn't it incredible how #COVID19 vaccines keep people out of the ICU?💪🏻 #VaccinesSaveLives
