Health Bus
Bringing Health to Where It’s Needed
The Rotary Club of Toronto Sherbourne Health Bus is a mobile clinic that provides services to people who often face barriers to accessing healthcare. We focus on providing accessible care in a confidential and non-judgmental way.
Service Advisory: Our Health Bus will be off the road until January 3rd. Please see the information below about our drop-in services at 333 Sherbourne Street.
Who We Serve
Health Bus services are available for individuals who often face barriers to accessing health care services, such as those experiencing homelessness or who are under-housed, substance use, sex work, mental health concerns and/or recent incarceration. We also support immigrant, refugee and newcomer communities; 2SLGBTQ community members; and people who face barriers connecting with their primary care providers.
Care is provided by a multidisciplinary team that includes Nurse Practitioners, Case Managers, Program Workers, and Community Support Workers and other specialized care providers.

Frequently Asked Questions
Our History
We’ve been on the road for over 20 years!
In 1995, several leaders of the Rotary Club of Toronto had an idea for an innovative mobile health service that could bring care directly to those experiencing homelessness. They approached the Wellesley Central Hospital and offered to fund a fully equipped vehicle to launch a mobile health program. In 1996, the Rotary Club of Toronto Health Bus made its first trip. It was the first of its kind in Canada, offering a mobile health service that made stops directly in the community.
When the Wellesley Central Hospital closed in 2002, the Health Bus became a program of Sherbourne Health. With Sherbourne’s mission to provide equitable, quality health care, the Health Bus was a perfect fit.
In 2005, when the vehicle needed to be replaced, the Rotary Club funded the second generation, which provided services in Toronto for over a decade.
