Roughly 2,000 children in the Beaus\u00e9jour region will be helped at the clinic, located on Champlain Street in Dieppe.<\/p>\n \u201cThe service, previously provided by NB Health Link, is now under the responsibility of the Network. Affected families have been informed of this change,\u201d said Vitalit\u00e9\u00a0in a news release on Thursday.<\/p>\n St\u00e9phanie Roy, Vitalit\u00e9\u2019s assistant vice-president of health and community services, said in the release the clinic is a collaboration between NB Health Link, Vitalit\u00e9 and Public Health.<\/p>\n \u201cOur goal is to attach these children to local family health teams as soon as possible, or at the latest by the end of their follow-up at the clinic,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n The clinic team is made up of physicians and nurses will provide regular medical follow-up for toddlers while they wait to be matched with a primary care provider.<\/p>\n Morning Email Telegraph-Journal<\/p>\n Thanks for signing up!<\/p>\n Article content<\/p>\n Advertisement 3<\/p>\n This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.<\/p>\n Article content<\/p>\n When asked where the clinic\u2019s employees are coming from, Roy said in a statement to Brunswick News the staff is comprised of Vitalit\u00e9 employees, including people who have previously worked with NB Health Link to ensure a \u201csmooth transition and continuity of care.\u201d<\/p>\n At each visit, the team will assess the child\u2019s growth, motor, cognitive and social development, as well as eating habits, sleep and hygiene. Immunization records will be updated, and guidance on safety, prevention and parenting will be provided to parents.<\/p>\n The clinic can treat patients with common ailments like fever, cough, ear infections, respiratory infections, skin rashes, digestive disorders and conjunctivitis. Children may also be followed for chronic conditions such as asthma, eczema or allergies, as well as for behavioural or developmental assessments.<\/p>\n Advertisement 4<\/p>\n This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.<\/p>\n Article content<\/p>\n Vitalit\u00e9\u00a0said access to the clinic is by referral only and that eligible families will be directed to the service by the health authority\u2019s care teams, as well as those of Horizon Health Network, NB Health Link, and Public Health.<\/p>\n Additionally, all newborns without a primary care provider who are born in Moncton hospitals will also be referred to the clinic.<\/p>\n Asked why the Beaus\u00e9jour area was chosen for the clinic, Roy said the initiative was created to address a significant access to primary care need for children in that zone. He noted a similar service also currently exists in Edmundston.<\/p>\n \u201cThere are no plans to deploy it in other regions at this time. However, the Network remains attentive to evolving needs and future opportunities,\u201d she said in a statement.<\/p>\n Brunswick News has asked Horizon and the Department of Health for comment.<\/p>\n More to come\u2026<\/p>\n Article content<\/p>\n Share this article in your social network<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Breadcrumb Trail Links Moncton to MiramichiNew BrunswickHealth careTimes and Transcript Vitalit\u00e9 says new Moncton area clinic will provide…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":413566,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[49,48,84,392],"class_list":["post-413565","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-healthcare","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-health","tag-healthcare"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/413565","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=413565"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/413565\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/413566"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=413565"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=413565"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=413565"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Vitalite](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/0115-tt-clinic.jpg\")
