Where to Find Your Local Health Centres

Community Health Centres are non-profit organizations that provide health and health promotion programs for individuals, families and communities. These Health Centres provide education and advice on assisting families to access the resources they need from other community agencies. These centres can help provide access to primary care from doctors, nurse practitioners, social workers, dietitians and more. Community Health Centres collaborate with other local organizations to establish health initiatives within schools, housing developments, and the workplace. These centers help connect families to the support/support groups that offer peer education, coping support, or working to address health conditions.
