Who We Are

Giving all children the chance for a healthy childhood

DocTocToc was founded to break barriers in accessing health services by meeting families where they are. Our approach is centred on the family’s capacity for action and collaboration between various resources in the healthcare network and community sector.

What motivates us? Giving each child a healthy start in life to allow them to reach their full potential. If prevention is better than cure, it’s better to intervene sooner rather than later.
