Community Involvement
At Mint Health+Drugs, we’re more than just a pharmacy. We’re committed to making our communities healthier places.
At Mint, We Truly Care
Mint Communities is one of the ways we work together with organizations such as non-profits, businesses, governments and health organizations to make a difference in the lives of Albertans. We believe in supporting causes that matter in our communities through health and social programs and collaborations with organizations—large and small. Our guiding principles motivate us to improve lives, strive for innovation in our work, and nurture and teaching families.
If you’re interested in working with Mint or want to learn more about how we support our communities, please contact us.
The ACE Team is an innovative pharmacist-led, multidisciplinary outreach team that was created to fill a gap in care for individuals living with health and social inequity. They serve some of Edmonton’s most vulnerable individuals and have become specialized in managing complex health needs including substance use disorders, mental health concerns, HIV, and hepatitis.
The Hepatitis C Outreach Program for Micro-elimination (HOPE) project is a community initiative in partnership with Abbvie to provide wrap-around medical and health supports to marginalized individuals living with or at high-risk of acquiring Hepatitis C.
With the vision of making our communities healthier places in mind, Mint Communities will expand its reach to provide wrap-around supports for veterans in its first-ever landmark project – Cedar Den.
Cedar Den is a 19-unit apartment complex located in West Edmonton within the quiet neighborhood of Britannia Youngstown.
Cedar Den residents will have access to a myriad of outreach supports including, health, social, and housing supports from our diverse team of prescribing pharmacists, nurses, housing and social workers.
Today, Mint Communities continues to coordinate access to housing to support the city’s most vulnerable, including those with indigenous backgrounds, marginalized older folks, and those who are veterans through working in collaboration with the city’s most prominent non-profits, including the Bissell Centre, Homeward Trust, Boyle Street Community Services.
