Background

The Oshawa Community Health Centre is a community-owned, non-profit, charitable organization. Since our founding in 1982 by volunteers, we have proudly worked with our residents to build a strong and healthy community. We are governed by a volunteer Board of Directors and funded primarily by the Central East Local Health Integration Network. Many of our programs are supported by the generosity of foundations and community support.

Our services include family medicine, social work and counselling, and a variety of health promotion and community development groups, many focusing on children, youth and women. All of our services and programs are free.*

The Oshawa Community Health Centre utilizes a team of supportive and skilled professionals including child and youth workers, doctors, social workers, counsellors, nurse practitioners, and health promoters to deliver services. Our centre is unique for the reason that we are responsive to the health needs as defined by our Oshawa community.

We would like to thank the Trillium Foundation for its ongoing support of our programs. The Ontario Trillium Foundation, an agency of the Ministry of Culture, receives annually $100 million in government funding generated through Ontario's charity casino initiative. The Foundation provides grants to eligible charitable and not-for-profit organizations in the arts, culture, sports, recreation, environment and social service sectors.
