REMINDER - Interview and Photo Opportunity - TELUS and Old Brewery Mission partner to provide healthcare to Montreal’s homeless community

As national rates of homelessness rise to record levels, TELUS increases its Health for Good commitment across Canada to $13M through 2026

MONTRÉAL, April 12, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- On Wednesday, April 12, 2023, members of the media are invited to a special community event featuring local dignitaries, as well as representatives of both TELUS Health and Old Brewery Mission, to formally announce the expansion of the innovative TELUS Health for Good™ program in Montreal, a return to the city after the program’s initial launch here in 2014. It's estimated about 6,000 individuals experience homelessness on any given night in Quebec, most of whom are in Montreal, and face barriers accessing medical and psychosocial support. The Old Brewery Mission Mobile Health Clinic, powered by TELUS Health, reaffirms TELUS’ commitment to ensuring that Montrealers in need have access to immediate, high-quality care. In addition, TELUS is increasing its commitment to its Health for Good program, with $13M dedicated through 2026.
