Update on Dr. Al-Ameri
The staff and board of the Hants Shore Community Health Centre wish to inform the community that Dr. Luma Al-Ameri will no longer be practicing at our clinic. As part of the Practice Readiness Assessment Program (PRAP) that she participates in, Dr. Al-Ameri is required to be supervised and mentored by a licensed physician. Due to unforeseen circumstances, this requirement could no longer be met at the HSCHC. Dr. Al-Ameri will now be working out of the Kingston Family Practice where such supervisory roles are available. The outcomes and requirements of PRAP are better met at this location. Nova Scotia Health would like to reassure the community that Dr. Al-Ameri's departure is in no way the result of any actions stemming from the patients, board members or staff. We wish Dr. Al-Ameri success in her new position.
We are assured by Nova Scotia Health that they remain committed to addressing the primary care needs of our community, with active recruitment efforts underway to fill open positions at the Hants Shore Community Health Centre. In the meantime, we are collaborating with Nova Scotia Health to support continued access to healthcare for community members through alternative resources, including:
- VirtualCareNS: On-site support at HSCHC is available to help you access VirtualCareNS for remote consultations.
- Mobile Clinics: We will host periodic pop-up mobile clinics in the area to provide additional access to care.
- Other Local Resources: HSCHC staff can help connect you with other available services, including the West Hants Access Clinic, Community Pharmacy Primary Care Clinics, the Hants Health and Wellness Team, and Urgent Virtual Care.
For more information on available healthcare services, we encourage you to download the YourHealthNS app or visit the Nova Scotia Health website for the latest updates. You may also call the clinic directly for assistance.
Thank you for your understanding as we work closely with Nova Scotia Health to ensure the community continues to receive healthcare support.
