Community Health Centres (CHCs) are not-for-profit, community-governed organizations focused on improving the health and well-being of the communities they serve. CHCs provide comprehensive primary health care services, ensuring equitable access for all.
CHCs offer a wide range of services with a team approach with a variety of professionals, including:
Admin Team Members, Primary Care Providers (Doctors and Nurse Practitioners), Nurses, Pharmacists, Social Workers, Respiratory Therapists, Community Health Workers, System Navigators, Health Promoters and Dietitians
This team provides primary health care, clinical treatment, and additional services such as group programming such as fitness, cooking classes, chronic disease management courses, and advance care planning sessions, counselling and community development activities
Centres adopting this model commit to principles and attributes such as:
• Contribute to the health and wellbeing of communities they serve through designing services and programs to reduce health disparities and inequities.
• Continuous improvement in the quality of services and programs
• Partner with community members to build safe and caring communities where everyone feels valued and included
