About Us

At SEOCHC, we save lives. We help people navigate barriers in a challenging healthcare system and advocate to help improve this system. We offer many different programs to make a positive difference and increase access to health and social services for people in our community 

SEOCHC doesn’t just treat illnesses; we address the root causes of health inequities. Unlike traditional systems that often treat symptoms in isolation, we understand that factors like poverty, food insecurity, and unstable housing significantly impact health outcomes. Our integrated model— bringing together physicians, nurses, social workers, health promoters and other allied community staff — tackles these underlying issues, promoting long-term well-being and preventing costly healthcare crises. 

Our proactive approach translates into tangible benefits for the entire community: 

• Fewer emergency visits – 36% reduction in ER visits when connected to primary care, lessening the burden on our healthcare system 
• Improved health outcomes – Improved uptake for screening programs, disease management programs, and mental health 
• Manageable costs – Lower care-related costs and higher savings when compared to other care settings
