Regent Park Community Health Centre

Established in 1973, the Regent Park Community Health Centre (RPCHC) is a dynamic non-profit, community-based health centre dedicated to improving the health of Regent Park neighbourhood and east downtown area of Toronto. We operate out of several locations and provide a wide variety of services including: primary health care, chiropody, physiotherapy, nutrition services and supports, social work, community health, immigrant and refugee services, harm reduction and homeless programs, Pathways to Education for high school students, infant and child development programs, parenting education and family advocacy. Our belief at the RPCHC is that good health is an essential resource for life and that access to health services, education, housing, employment, social status, gender, and the sense of being included or excluded from society, etc. – impact on our health. Health is much more than not being sick it is about being able to make choices that help make your life better. It is about having a voice in your community, listening to needs, helping others through action, and being able to hope.
