The Mednam Lachine Clinic offers a variety of specialized services in
one location.

GMF pharmacists

Our pharmacists work closely with physicians and nurse practitioners to provide services tailored to our patients’ needs. Thanks to their expertise in pharmacotherapy, they actively participate in the care and follow-up of people with various health problems. They also play an essential role in making recommendations on drug treatments and providing education to all our GMF clients. Their services are available upon request from the attending physician.

GMF social workers

The social worker works closely with physicians and NPs (Nurse Practitioners) to provide tailored support to GMF patients. They meet with anyone experiencing a specific difficulty or situation that affects their social functioning. They can offer short-term psychosocial follow-up, up to ten (10) meetings. When other services are needed, they also refer patients to the most appropriate resources.  This service is only available with a referral from your family doctor.
