Empower Clinics Inc announced that its subsidiary The Medi-Collective (TMC) has opened a new clinic in London, Ontario. The clinic is accepting new patients from December 31, 2021, the company said.
The company said that the fully renovated 3,400 square foot location will offer family medicine, teledermatology, and paramedical services such as chiropractor, physiotherapy, registered massage therapy, and custom bracing orthotics.
There are currently five family doctors on staff with plans to hire general practice and specialist physicians to accommodate additional services in the coming months. Support medical staff are equipped through Empower's partnership with MedX Health Corporation to facilitate teledermatology appointments.

"Our team has made immense progress in growing our footprint this year despite the operational and logistical challenges brought on by the pandemic and supply chain crisis," said Steven McAuley, CEO of Empower, in a statement.
He added: "We are now servicing patients in multiple Ontario communities and establishing TMC as an emerging medical service provider in Canada's most populous province. Heading into 2022 we're focused on completing the construction and acquisition of additional locations, expanding our specialist service offerings, and increasing the number of patients serviced by TMC."
The Vancouver, British Columbia-based company plans to open additional specialist services in line with operations at other TMC clinics. TMC has also subleased space to Guardian Pharmacies, allowing for onsite pharmaceutical services and products, the company added.
"TMC's first London location is an impressive facility that we're proud to bring to the community," said Dr. Jordan Rabinowitz and Dr. Aviv Tsimerman. "Now more than ever Canadians need access to convenient, high-quality healthcare. TMC goes beyond meeting this need by providing a truly integrated, localized healthcare experience."
Currently, TMC has seven clinics in operation, five in development and construction, and eight under the acquisition process.
Empower Clinics plans to leverage its subsidiary network's products and services to offer a genuinely integrated patient experience. This includes offering patients access to products such as Kai Care specimen collection devices and MediSure diabetic management solutions.
