Our educational, interactive programs are designed to address our patient needs beyond their primary care visits. Patients can register online to attend workshops and events for our Mental Health, Diabetes Management, Highway to health and Infant Feeding programs.
Comprehensive Diabetes Care Clinics
Hypertension Management Program
If you have high blood pressure that has been newly diagnosed or challenging to control, this program may be just right for you. High blood pressure is often referred to as a ‘silent killer’, because individuals often feel fine despite their blood pressure being elevated. Achieving normal blood pressure is important to reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke and other cardiovascular diseases.
Lung Health Screening Program
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is the third leading cause of death in the world. Smoking is a major contributor to COPD: approximately 20% of smokers develop the disease. Other risk factors such as air pollution, respiratory infection, chronic asthma, genetic factors and occupational exposure to pollutants in the workplace also contribute to the burden of lung diseases. Asthma is another chronic disease which makes breathing difficult.

Mental Health Program
Central Brampton Family Health Team works collaboratively with your family physician to provide mental health services that focus on strengthening coping skills and improving overall functioning. This is achieved through individual counselling, psycho-educational mental health webinars, psycho-therapy groups, and care coordination/patient navigation. Services are geared towards those with mild to moderate mental health concerns (including, anxiety, depression, and stress related to relationships). Services are offered in English, Hindi, Urdu and Punjabi.
We offer a weekly webinar series that is open to both Central Brampton Family Health Team patients and the community.
Lifestyle Counselling
Poor diet, lack of physical activity and smoking are the underlying causes of most major chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, osteoarthritis, and even many cancers. There is mounting evidence that physical activity is an important contributor to reducing the risk for cognitive decline with age. Our team of registered dietitians, certified diabetes educators and health educators are prepared to equip you with the tools you need to improve your lifestyle and overall health.
