We collaborate with our clients to address the broad determinants of health.Within the Boyle McCauley Health Centre, the SCS (Supervised Consumption Service) is part of a range of evidence-based services that support prevention, harm reduction and treatment for Albertans living with substance use. SCS provides a place where people can use drugs in a monitored, hygienic environment to reduce harm from substance use while offering wrap-around services such as counselling, social work and referrals to housing and treatment (e.g., opioid-dependency treatment, detox) and works collaboratively with the rest of BMHC to provide individualized services to meet service users needs.Job DescriptionBMHC Licensed Practical Nurses are a vital component of the Team Based care at BMHC.
