This program is led by a multidisciplinary team made up of nurses, kinesiologists, a psychologist, a pharmacist, medical assistants, coaches, and doctors, under Dr. Bourdua-Roy’s supervision.

This team of medical professionals teaches patients to take charge of their own health, while also prescribing necessary medications along the way.
