Somerset West Community Health Centre (SWCHC) is a interprofessional agency offering a diverse spectrum of programming, in order to promote optimal health and social well-being among community members. Priority is given to individuals with unique needs, including single parent families, those who are financially insecure, new Canadians, and persons coping with various disabilities. SWCHC welcomes and supports individuals of all gender identities, sexual orientations, ages, and ethnicities.
SWCHC serves a large multicultural area in Ottawa’s centre west, including Dalhousie, Hintonburg, Mechanicsville, and West Wellington, with a population of approximately 40,000 persons. Much of the community’s population is made up of new immigrants to Canada, who face many struggles which for many include a lack of English language skills.
