Centre de santé communautaire Chigamik Community Health Centre (Chigamik) is a non-profit, community-governed, primary health care organization. Our ‘Model of Health and Wellbeing’ is based on a health care system that is community driven and proactively addresses the social determinants of health.
Chigamik is an Ojibwe word, meaning The People’s Place. The name reflects Chigamik’s commitment to provide a place where all members of the community are welcome and where services reflect the diversity of our community. 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. Our priority population include the Francophone and Indigenous communities, LGBTQ and individuals facing barriers to care living in North Simcoe and Muskoka. The Centre’s staff, board and clients represent these diverse communities.
Proceeds from this fund will support initiatives that are critical to maintaining or improving access to services for clients of Chigamik and for people living in North Simcoe Muskoka. Donations are used to help community members with such items as prescriptions, transportation, food, and other immediate needs.
