Employer Profile

The West Elgin Community Health Centre has
served our rural communities for 30 years.
We work alongside extraordinary people at
the Centre. We are very proud to be a part
of an alliance of community health centres
across the province where we focus on
improving the health and wellbeing of people
and communities. We continue to value and
advocate for a more inclusive society.
We believe that housing, education, food and
the environment all play a role in health and
well-being. We also believe that language,
literacy and poverty should not get in the way
of receiving great care.
Our team provides primary health care, illness
prevention and health promotion services
as well as a range of community programs
primarily to the residents of Dutton Dunwich
and West Elgin municipalities. Our diabetes
services are open to anyone and are offered at
multiple locations in Elgin County.
We strive for a healthy and supportive work
environment valuing compassion, excellence,
collaboration, accountability, respect and
equity. Our vision supports a vibrant and
caring community, people and workplace and
is demonstrated by the Centre’s 2021 Healthy
Workplace award and 2023 CMHA recognition
for workplace mental health initiatives.
