This what collaboration among community residents, social services and City Council looks like.

Every night, over 60 people are sleeping on chairs because no beds are available. 275 people are sleeping outside, and Ottawa anticipates that 70% of this group will need to access shelter when winter hits our city. startswithhome.ca/ottawa_s_h… >

Community Health Centres (CHCs) are proven to save money by reducing expected usage. In 2022 alone, CHCs saved the Ontario health system more than $27 million in emergency department usage. Here’s the proof: allianceon.org/sites/default… #CHC #ONhealth #ONpoli

This is the strength of the team-based model, and how Community Health Centres can help some of the 65,000+ Ottawans without a primary care provider if we are given more resources. Thank you Suzanne Obiorah, Executive Director of @SWCHC.
We are stronger together.

“With more than 40 programs and services within our group or spread across the city we are able to connect people to the supports that they need - to not only address their medical health but the other challenges they might be facing.”

Help Ottawa receive its fair share of provincial homelessness funding. Without it, #OttCity will have to cancel permanent supportive housing for those on the street. #OttawaNeedsMore

During the pandemic, @SWCHC used culturally and linguistically accessible resources to increase vaccine confidence with other Ottawa area CHCs and partners. In 2021 we spoke to Somerset West about overcoming Digital Inequities during the pandemic.youtu.be/EfNf8rLKHIU
