The Extra Mural Program (EMP) is a provincial home/community health care program that provides a comprehensive range of services to individuals of all ages in their homes, nursing homes, special care homes and schools.

Our purpose is to promote, maintain, and/or restore health within the context of our clients' daily lives and, when necessary, to provide services to support quality end-of-life care. EMP professionals assess, plan, provide, and coordinate care in cooperation with health professsionals in the region.

Care is delivered by an interdisciplinary team consisting of:

• Clinical Nutritionists
• Nurses
• Occupational Therapists
• Social Workers
• Speech-Language Pathologists
• Physiotherapists
• Respiratory therapists

The mandate for our approximately 1,000 clients in Region 4 includes acute care, palliative care, long-term care, long-term oxygen services and rehabilitative services. Home care nursing services are provided on a 24/7 basis through actual nursing visits.

As an integral part of the health care system, the Extra Mural Program is involved in a variety of partnerships with other government departments and divisions, health care institutions and agencies in order to provide comprehensive services to clients within their homes/community.
