WELCOME TO SANDY HILL COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTRE!

Sandy Hill Community Health Centre (SHCHC) is a non-profit organization that provides team-based primary health care, mental health support, health promotion programs, and community outreach.


We focus on the whole person - addressing not only medical needs, but also the social and economic factors that affect health, such as housing, income, and access to food.


We work with people of all ages and backgrounds, with a focus on those who face barriers to care.


We believe everyone deserves access to respectful, high-quality care and the opportunity to live a healthy life.

I can honestly say that I have never experienced healthcare like I have at Sandy Hill. The entire approach is remarkably accommodating to my needs and those of my family.

Everyone at Sandy Hill was so kind and compassionate. I really appreciate the fact that they took the time to answer my questions, never losing their patience.
