New program takes a holistic approach to wellbeing.
Understanding the big picture is the first step toward providing community-based health care, programs and support. It’s no surprise that genetics and lifestyle choices can have a major influence on an individual’s health, but there are many other factors as well, including where you were born, grew up, live and work, according to Public Health Canada. Access to health care is another determinant of health.
As part of a new three-year strategic plan, The South Georgian Bay Community Health Centre is working with community partners and clients to build inclusive pathways to wellbeing.
Three strategic priorities put people and communities at the centre of governance, services and program development. The South Georgian Bay Community Health Centre provides frontline healthcare services as well as free health and wellness programs to help residents learn, make connections and find support. Free workshops explore a variety of issues including chronic disease, wellness, mental health, heart health and diabetes.
The South Georgian Bay Community Health Centre serves residents in Wasaga Beach, Elmvale, Clearview, Collingwood and The Blue Mountains. For more information call 705-422-1888 or visit southgeorgianbaychc.ca.
