You may be eligible for services at a CHC even if you do not have a health card (OHIP card).
Community Health
Community Health Centres are non-profit organizations that provide health care to people who might otherwise have difficulty getting the help they need.
For newcomers, language, low income, cultural sensitivities and immigration or refugee status can be barriers to getting proper health care.
In addition to providing clinical procedures, CHCs offer:
- Culturally-sensitive care in different languages
- Anti-racism programs
- Sexual health education
- Domestic violence prevention and treatment
- Parenting education
- Support for seniors
- Support for teenage mothers
Services at CHCs are free or for a small fee. All services are confidential, and some, such as tests for pregnancy and HIV/AIDS, may be anonymous. You may be eligible for services at a CHC even if you do not have a health card (OHIP card).
