Omega Mind Clinics is thrilled to announce the opening of the mental health nurse practitioner’s clinic located on level 4 of the same building as our psychiatry clinics and the Omega Wellness Centre, offering accessible and affordable access to patients with mild to moderate mental health concerns.
