The Niverville Medical Clinic is proud to be part of a unique team of health professionals, called the Niverville Primary Health Care centre. This is a special cooperation between the town of Niverville, who had the vision and the South East Health Authority who provided the staff. The result is a multidisciplinary team that brings together Public health, Mental health, Home Care, Midwifery, Laboratory services, Nurse triage, Chronic disease management with the medical clinic.
All of us have worked together to try and create a patient centered service, housed on different floors, that seeks to look after the whole person.

For Parents

We love seeing children at NMC. We also know that they can often have special needs so don’t worry if they seem a little more noisy. We have a play area outside the clinic which means they can play and relax there safely.
Often after a visit, we like to reward our small patients with a treat, either a sucker or a sticker. We will usually ask you, the parent first, if this is ok for you. Please feel free to let us know your wishes, we do not want to contravene your wishes in anyway.
Where possible when doing embarrassing examinations, we will get the parents to help so as to avoid mixed messages for the child

Vaccinations

The clinic is unashamedly pro vaccination and is happy to discuss your concerns re the current Manitoba vaccination schedule. We also recognize individual choice and preference and will support you what ever decision you may wish to take. We do prefer that childhood vaccinations get given by the public health nurse, but on special occasions can accommodate these in the clinic.

Early Development

It is important that a health professional examine your child at a regular interval during their first 2 years of life, prior to starting kindergarten and possibly on starting middle and high school. These are milestones in their development and it is often useful to chart these. We are of curse very happy if you have a pediatrician whom you wish to continue seeing. However your family physicians are very willing to look after children and refer to pediatric specialist as required. If you have questions then come in and we can talk about them.

Pedro’s page

Welcome to my special page. I am Pedro the bear. You may have seen me on your last visit to the doctor’s office. I sometimes hide in one of the rooms, or it may be that I’m wearing special clothes that day, so look out for me.
I do get lonely in the clinic, I am the only bear living there so next time, if you have a bear at home, you may want to take him with you, I am always happy to meet new bears. Well honestly I’m happy to meet any animals ( except dogs with big teeth)
Now the staff at the clinic have been dressing me up and hiding me in Dr Chris’s office for the past months so I decided to show you some of my photos. Now if you have a favorite photo of your bear, then take it along and let us see it. The best photo each month will be added to my website.
We also like getting pictures from our young visitors so if you want to draw a picture of your last visit to the clinic, especially if you have me in it, then each month we will post the very best picture on the web so everyone can see it, how about that, your picture and me on the web for all to see.
So next time you come in, please make sure you say hi to me.

Pedro the bear.
