What is a Community Health Centre?
As issued by the Province of Ontario...
Community Health Centres (CHCs) are not-for-profit community governed organizations with a primary focus on improving the health and well-being of populations who have traditionally faced barriers accessing health services, including:
- those living on low income
- new immigrants
- those with complex mental health issues
- individuals who do not have health insurance
CHCs provide comprehensive primary health care and other services that address the social determinants of health with an emphasis on priority populations who:
- face barriers to accessing services because of geographic isolation or cultural or language barriers
- have a higher burden or risk of ill health due to socio-economic status, age, social isolation, mental health issues, gender, sexual identity/orientation, or other factors

Locations
Primary Clinic - 120 Brock St.
At this location we provide a more traditional healthcare experience, offering appointment based assessments and care in a discrete setting accessible for all. A counseling office is available for clients to meet with a social worker on site if needed following their primary care appointments. There are no stairs in this building, and there is free 2-hour parking in the lot next to the church directly adjacent to the building.
For any initial intake, please book an appointment at this location.
This location is booked by appointment only, same day service is not available.
Community Resource Centre - 721 Wellington St. E.
At this location we provide a less conventional approach to traditional healthcare by meeting people where they are at and reducing barriers to medical service provision. This location is within the same building that meets the needs of community members who are housing insecure by providing emergency shelter to men, and transitional housing. There is harm-reduction services available on-site, as well as many other social service agencies available to meet with vulnerable clients to help with financial, housing, and substance use related challenges.
Due to the nature of services provided in this building, this location is not suitable for treating children, or people with mobility concerns as there are stairs to access the clinic.
