About SWCHC
Established in 1978, Somerset West Community Health Centre (SWCHC) is a non-profit, community-governed organization that serves over 16,000 clients annually. We combine primary health care services with a wide range of other health promotion and community development services, with a focus on improving the social determinants of health. We do this by removing barriers to accessing services for people who are vulnerable because of their age, income, ability, sexual orientation or gender identity, and language or culture.
Somerset West is deeply connected to the communities we serve. We pay particular attention to groups facing barriers, including people who are isolated seniors; those experiencing mental health challenges; those from ethnocultural, racialized or newcomer communities; those living with low-income; and those who are homeless or precariously housed. We value equity, diversity, caring and inclusion. We accept people without judgement and support them where they are at in their life.
