On March 26">
On March 26, 1999 the Travel Clinic operated by the Department of Family
and Community Medicine at the Toronto General Hospital was closed. The medical and some of
the nursing staff have moved to Lucliffe, 700 Bay Street, 1 block from the hospital to
open the Travel Medicine Centre. Dr. Philip Scappatura, who will run the Travel
Medicine Centre, has worked full time in the travel clinic for 13 years. We hope to
provide the same excellent service outside the hospital. Dr. Scappatura will also be
doing Travel Medicine at the Welcare Centre 1366 Yonge Street (south of St. Clair).
