Vision, Mission and Commitments
Vision
Health equity and wellbeing for everyone in the diverse communities we serve,
Mission
We are dedicated to making a positive difference in the lives of people who face inequities —by providing accessible community health and social services and working together to build healthier communities.
Who we are
At the South-East Ottawa Community Health Centre (SEOCHC), we believe serving our community means being part of the community, immersed in the realities of people’s day-to-day lives and showing up to do the work when it’s time to take action. We know healthier communities are built on more than healthcare. They require health and social services that are accessible to all. They require collaboration and partnership to drive change and create the conditions for people to be healthy and well. We embrace diversity, are used to working in complex, rapidly changing situations, and adapt with agility as needs and evidence evolve. We put our hearts into serving people and passionately lead the charge to remove barriers that hinder health equity and well-being for all.
