Green Initiatives
Impulse commits to being as green as possible (the culture, not the color!) to make the clinic a better place for our clients and the planet a better place for our children!
We utilize an electronic medical record system, which eliminates the large amount of paper normally utilized by medical clinics.
We clean our clinic, treatment tables, and equipment with Norwex products. Norwex is a natural, organic cleaning company committed to radically reducing the use of chemicals in cleaning products.
We continually strive to use materials and methods that reduce environmental impact.
We encourage our staff to make eco-friendly decisions at work and home.
Help Others By Helping Yourself
A portion of every treatment fee at Impulse goes directly to help an individual or project in our global community that needs funding. We are so lucky to have the financial capacity and resources in Canada to receive adequate healthcare and we believe that we should forward as much as we can on to those who aren’t as fortunate. Read about where your money is going on our blog, and feel free to contact us if you have a project in need!
Update on Delphine who Impulse helped support last year:
Delphine sells food stuffs such as beans, peanuts, sweet potatoes. With the loan she was given, she bought more food stuffs and she has managed to support her family without other external support such as relatives and friends. Delphine paid her children’s school fees, house rent and made some savings and she is proud of that.
