Quitting Smoking & Vaping
Our team of trained Smoking Cessation Counsellors encourage, educate, and assist patients in creating a successful plan to quit smoking and vaping.

Stress management, coping strategies, barriers/triggers, and smoking/vaping cessation aids will be explored during the appointment.

This involves giving appropriate education, resources and symptom management tools based upon diagnosis. The Respiratory Therapist will perform a spirometry (breathing test) on patients with respiratory symptoms or smokers at risk for the investigation of COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) and Asthma.

Social Workers provide short-term services to patients and support their social and mental health complexities.
