Have you heard about valvular heart diseases?

Valvular heart diseases are dysfunctions of the doors that direct blood flow within the heart. These diseases affect hundreds of thousands of people in Canada.

Heart valve problems are often undetected, and late detection may have severe consequences. The University of Ottawa Heart Institute's mobile screening program offers early detection, diagnosis and treatment.

A free screening for people 65+ with no known heart issues is available and the Seniors' Community Services is the host location for this clinic.

Your 30- to 60-minute appointment involves:

• a mini ultrasound of your heart
• questioning, measurements, and rapid finger poke blood tests to evaluate your cardiovascular risk factors

A cardiologist will review the results and recommendations will be provided at the end of your visit.

Registration is required by calling the Heart Institute directly at 613-696-7000 x19172 or
by email at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

Clients will be asked to complete screening questions and be over the age of 65. 

You do not have to be a client of SCS to access this clinic.

The Seniors’ Community Services Transportation Service Volunteers are a group of 26 dedicated volunteers who provide access to critical transportation to medical and life-sustaining appointments that support seniors and adults living with physical disabilities in North Grenville.

Over the last year, this group of volunteers has provided:

• 2,069 rides,
• driven 88,093 km, and
• given a remarkable 11,022 hours of volunteer time.

The volunteer drivers are the backbone of this service, without them it simply would not be possible to impact the lives of hundreds of older adults with access to the basic necessities that transportation provides.
