About the Community Health Centre

The Centre de santé communautaire Chigamik Community Health Centre (CSC CHIGAMIK CHC) is a non-profit, community-governed, primary healthcare organization. Chigamik is part of a growing network of Ontario’s CHCs. With more than seventy across the province, the CHC Model of Care is proven to build healthy communities. Each CHC is as unique as the communities it serves. Our ‘Model of Health and Wellbeing’ is based on a healthcare system that is community driven and proactively addresses the social determinants of health.

As a CHC, Chigamik provides a combination of primary health care, health promotion programs and community development initiatives that are culturally-relevant, holistic, and available in both English and French. Chigamik received the Government of Ontario’s French Language Services designation and is accredited by the Canadian Centre for Accreditation – demonstrating our accountability to the community and our commitment to providing the highest quality programs and services.

Our Team

Chigamik offers many health care services and programs under one roof. The inter-professional team of care providers includes doctors, nurse practitioners, registered nurses, traditional healers, health promoters, social workers, counsellors, a dietitian, physiotherapist, community health worker, administrators and management, among others. This provides clients with access to the right care, at the right time, in the right place.
