How to get started

We are a referral based program. This means a referral from your family doctor is needed. You can obtain a referral form HERE.

What to expect

Once we receive a referral from you family doctor, we will contact you to set up an intake assessment. The initial intake assessment will take about 90 minutes. You will be seeing a nurse, an exercise physiologist and a doctor. An exercise stress test may take place during this appointment to determine your baseline fitness and help set safe guidelines for exercise. At this time, intake assessments may be done over the phone.

Follow up

There may be a 6 month and/or a 1 year follow up after your initial intake assessment if appropriate. Our office will call you to book these appointments when it is time. At this time, follow up appointments may be over the phone.
