Empower Clinics Inc told investors it plans to host a ribbon cutting ceremony and open house when it opens its eighth and flagship clinic in the Greater Toronto area under its The Medi-Collective (TMC) brand.
The 3,500 square feet (sq ft) Etobicoke clinic will offer family medicine and serve as a hub for tele-dermatology in partnership with MedX Health Corp and paramedical services such as chiropractor and physiotherapy.
The centre will have four family doctors and there are plans to hire general practice and specialist physicians to offer additional services in coming months, Empower said.

"Launching 8 clinics within 2 years was not easy, but our team's commitment to provide convenient integrated healthcare clinic solutions is essential to meet Toronto's need for family doctors and paramedical services," Steven McAuley, the CEO of Empower Clinics said in a statement.
"We know that patients of our clinics are now enjoying high-quality integrated healthcare solutions and we continue to work tirelessly to increase our reach across Toronto and Canada."
Carolyn Shields, the senior vice-president of operations at TMC, added: "I'm still within my first 100 days leading TMC but it's clear that we have the foundation to be a leading integrated healthcare clinic brand in Ontario and then Canada."
This announcement is the latest in a series of clinic openings and follows the recent opening of a TMC Clinic in London, Ontario, which opened its doors on January 4 this year.
Empower is an integrated healthcare company that provides body and mind wellness for patients through its clinics, with digital and telemedicine care, a medical device company and world-class medical diagnostics laboratories.
