The first specialized nurse practitioner-led clinic-school in Laval began operating on Monday to help relieve pressure on the area’s heavily-taxed emergency rooms. The health and social services centre in Laval (CISSS) will operate the clinic-school in partnership with the University of Montreal’s faculty of nursing in the hopes of taking pressure off of nearby hospitals, particularly the Cite-de-la-Sante Hospital on Rene-Laennec Boulevard in Laval’s Vimont district.
