Le Tandem is a Community Social Pediatrics Centre based on Dr. Julien’s approach, dedicated to serving the population of the MRC of Memphremagog. It is a non-profit organization that relies on the generosity of the public and business partners to finance its activities and the care it provides to children.
Services offered
Medecine, law and psychosocial services.

Stimulating Activities
Various creative and educational activities are organized by volunteers to complement the services offered to children.
Medecine
The specialized Community Social Pediatrics medical doctor acts as a conductor when diagnosing all aspects of the child’s development, whether physical, psychological, emotional, social, and in language.

Social Work
The social worker coordinates access to a wide range of adapted and integrated care and services to implement an action plan following the clinical assessment.

Law
The lawyer/mediator will ease access to justice in conjunction with the clinic across preventive legislation programs (reference and information) and participatory measures (legal advice and means of amicable dispute resolution through negotiation and mediation).

Our activities
In collaboration with our volunteers, various activities are organized to motivate the children.
