Why We Created the Lorraine Homan Wellness Centre—And What It Means for Women’s Health

At Van Veijeren & Partners, we’ve always believed that healthcare should be personal, compassionate, and tailored to the needs of every patient. But when it comes to women’s health, we saw a need for something more—an environment that feels calming, private, and deeply respectful of the journey each woman walks. That’s why we created the Lorraine Homan Wellness Centre.

Named in loving memory of Lorraine Homan, an extraordinary woman who lost her battle with breast cancer, this centre stands as a tribute to her strength—and a promise to care for every woman who walks through our doors.

A Space Made Just for Women

From the moment you step inside the Lorraine Homan Wellness Centre, you’ll notice it’s different. Soft pink walls, a warm atmosphere, and the soothing sounds of classical music set the tone for a more comforting medical experience. Most importantly, our entire team here is made up of women. We’ve created a space where patients can feel understood, heard, and completely at ease—because we know that comfort and dignity are part of the care process too.

Services Designed Around Women’s Wellness

The Lorraine Homan Wellness Centre offers three essential diagnostic services, all under one roof:

Mammograms (Recommended from Age 40+)

A mammogram is a low-dose X-ray of the breast that helps detect breast cancer early—often before symptoms appear. Why it matters: Early detection can save lives. We recommend women begin annual mammograms from the age of 40, or earlier if there’s a family history of breast cancer.

Bone Density Tests (Recommended from Age 50+)

Also known as a DEXA scan, this test checks the strength of your bones and screens for osteoporosis. Why it matters: Women are more prone to bone loss, especially after menopause. Detecting low bone density early helps prevent fractures and supports long-term bone health.

Sonars (All Ages, Including Pregnancy)

We offer various ultrasound (sonar) services, from pelvic scans to pregnancy ultrasounds. Why it matters: Sonars are safe, non-invasive ways to monitor everything from reproductive health to fetal development.

More Than a Centre—A Commitment

The Lorraine Homan Wellness Centre isn’t just about tests—it’s about time, attention, and care. It’s about creating an environment where your health feels like a priority, not a procedure. And it’s about celebrating women’s strength by providing the medical support you need to keep thriving.

In Loving Memory, and in Hopeful Purpose

We honour Lorraine Homan not only in name, but in the kindness and dignity we extend to every woman who visits us. Her story is a reminder of how important early detection is—and how powerful a welcoming space can be.

To every woman who visits us: You deserve healthcare that listens, comforts, and protects. We’re here for you, every step of the way.
