A Community Health Centres (CHC) provides primary care, prevention and health promotion services. Designed by the community, for the community - every CHC offers different services based on the needs of people living in the areas they serve. They connect underserved people of the community who do not have a primary care provider with a family doctor or nurse practitioner in community centered, culturally safe environments.
Community Health Centres provide access to preventative and primary health care services to patients who:
- Experience barriers to care
- May have unmet medical and social needs
- May have mental health and substance use challenges
- May require help getting connected to other community services
