Toronto Reopens North York Sexual Health Clinic Following Renovations and Accessibility Upgrades
Toronto North York Sexual Health Clinic offers free and confidential sexual health services
TORONTO — Toronto Public Health (TPH) has officially reopened its North York Sexual Health Clinic following renovations aimed at improving accessibility, comfort and service delivery for residents seeking sexual health care in the city.
The clinic, formerly known as the Talk Shop Clinic, is located at 5110 Yonge St. and provides free and confidential sexual health services in one of Toronto’s most densely populated and diverse communities.
City officials say the reopening restores an important public health resource after the clinic’s temporary closure for modernization work.
Accessibility and Modernization Improvements
According to Toronto Public Health, renovations at the North York Sexual Health Clinic included:
- A fully wheelchair-accessible examination room
- An accessible washroom
- Updated clinic facilities designed to create a more welcoming environment for clients
The City says the upgrades are intended to improve inclusive access to sexual health care and support the delivery of high-quality services.
Dr. Michelle Murti, Toronto’s Medical Officer of Health, said the clinic plays an important role in supporting community health.
“Reopening the North York Sexual Health Clinic provides residents with access to free, confidential, stigma-free care close to home,” Murti said in a statement.
She noted that sexually transmitted and bloodborne infections account for approximately 80 per cent of all diseases of public health significance reported to Toronto Public Health.
“This highlights the ongoing need for accessible, community-based sexual health services across the city,” Murti added.
