PEDIATRICIAN DAY
A pediatrician is a medical doctor who specializes in providing healthcare for infants, children, and adolescents, addressing their unique medical needs from birth through adolescence. At Willow Cree Health Services we host a pediatrician once a month in order to ensure the health of our children and adolescence. All pediatric patients must be under 17 years of age.
DOCTOR DAY
Doctors Day brings a variety of physicians into our community to take appointments with patients. We are always partnering with other healthcare providers and institutions in order to bring qualified medical professionals to our Beardy’s and Okemasis’ Cree Nation. Doctor Day occurs between one to three times a month in order to ensure the health of our members. Patients must be over the age of 18 to see the doctor on Doctor Day.

Regular Pap testing is important for early detection and prevention of cervical cancer. At Willow Cree Health Services we offer Pap testing twice per year in order to ensure the health of Individuals with vaginas.
