Diabetes and prediabetes are a serious public health issue impacting almost 12 million people in Canada. Dynacare is partnering with Diabetes Canada to bring this important wellness initiative to the Greater Toronto Area (GTA).
It’s important now, more than ever, for everyone – especially those from any of the identified high-risk groups – to understand their risk for this all-too-common condition.
About the Initiative
The goal of this initiative is to encourage GTA residents to assess their risk for diabetes, consult their doctor and, if recommended, get tested at a Dynacare LHSC in the GTA or mobile A1C clinic using the A1C test from November 1 to December 6, 2023.
Between November 1 and December 6, Dynacare will offer free A1C tests at all Dynacare LHSC locations and mobile A1C clinics (see schedule below), making a 50-cent donation to Diabetes Canada for every A1C test completed, up to a total of $25,000.
This initiative comes at no cost to Public Health Ontario as it is fully funded by Dynacare, including the cost of all additional A1C tests ordered.
Mobile Clinics
Come join us at one of our upcoming mobile clinics – learn about the risk factors for type 2 diabetes and receive a free A1C test!
