Whether nurses are working at an acute care facility or somewhere like a CUPS Vaccination Clinic, their commitment to healthcare is profound and we continue to be inspired by their work, each and every day.

Thank you, Nurses!

It's about meeting people where they are at.

A common phrase heard around CUPS and very fitting as the theme of CMHA's Mental Health Week is empathy. We are here to listen without judgement and support where we can.

[CUPS Calgary @CUPSCalgaryAB]

Physicians are at the cornerstone of the work we do at the CUPS Health Clinic. They are not only in our clinics but out in the community providing important care and ongoing treatment to vulnerable members in our community.

The cold weather has returned, but the good news is we've opened up our warming centre! We're proud to be working with the @cityofcalgary on this collaborative response to provide accessible basic needs support to the community! #yyccc #warmingcentre #extremeweatherresponse

Last year at CUPS, 288 individuals were connected with #opioid treatment within one day of their referral. This turnaround time is vital as we work to provide life-saving support for those in crisis and needing immediate care and treatment.
