About the South-East Ottawa Community Health Centre

Who We Are

We are a community health and resource centre. We are one of 14 similar centres in Ottawa, part of the Coalition of Community Health and Resource Centres of Ottawa.

We provide health, social and community services to everyone, but particularly to people with special needs living in South-East Ottawa including seniors, youth, families and individuals with low-incomes, and multicultural communities.

We report to an elected Board of Directors who live or work in South-East Ottawa neighbourhoods. The Board lobbies for healthy public policies.

Our Mission

South-East Ottawa Community Health Centre works with the diverse community of south-east Ottawa and with partners throughout the region to provide and advocate for integrated, holistic primary health care, social services, community development, and health promotion to:

• Foster a healthy, welcoming, diverse and safe community

• Promote healthy development of individuals and families

• Enable community members to help one another
