With the Victorian Order of Nurses ending operations in the province, the Department of Health says the services they provided will be taken over by various different agencies.
The Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Disorder program for example, will be taken over by the Vitalite Health Network, as will the provincial Youth Treatment. Foot care for seniors will be taken over by the Extra-Mural Program and the Adult Day Program will be taken over by the Department of Social Development.
This is the full list as provided by the provincial government:
- Healthy Baby and Me: funded through Public Health Agency of Canada;
- Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Disorder program: Vitalité Health Network;
- Provincial Youth Treatment: Vitalité Health Network;
- Workplace Seasonal Flu and Wellness programs, and pre-travel clinics: New Brunswickers can see family physician, nurse practitioners and, in some cases, pharmacists;
- Foot care (seniors): Extra-Mural Program;
- Adult Day Program: Department of Social Development; and
- Veterans’ Assessments, Veterans’ Visiting Nursing and Veterans’ Foot Care: Veterans Affairs Canada.
