NOTICE TO ALL PATIENTS
OFFERING PAP CLINICS THIS FALL
Last updated: September 27, 2022
Did you know? "An estimated 1,450 Canadian women will be diagnosed with cervical cancer in 2022. An estimated 380 will die from it". A Pap test (also called Pap smear or cervical smear) can help prevent cervical cancer. A pap test is a screening test used to detect abnormal cells in the cervic that could lead to cervical cancer later in life. Cervical cancer is almost 100% preventable with regular pap tests for anyone with a cervix* ages 25-69 who are or have ever been sexually active. We are now offering a limited number of Pap clinics at the Southlake Academic Family Health Team (SAFHT). Click here for more info.
MASKS AND SCREENING
Last updated: June 10, 2022
While the province is ending its mask mandate on June 11th for health care organizations, SAFHT will continue to follow Public Health Ontario’s guidance and require all patients attending an appointment at one of our clinics to wear a mask. This policy allows our organization to continue to keep our most vulnerable patients safe, protect our team from COVID-19 and will reduce the risk of a COVID-19 outbreak impacting our ability to deliver patient care. We thank all our patients in advance for complying. Click here for more info.
