South Riverdale Community Health Centre
Programs and services are provided by an interdisciplinary team of health professionals that focus on prevention and wellness, information and health promotion, as well as primary care.
Our goal is to help clients take control of their own health as much as possible, as well as help them access the programs and services they need. Clients are helped by our interdisciplinary team that includes doctors, nurses, nurse practitioners, dietitians, chiropodists, physiotherapist, social workers, health promoters, educators, case workers and harm reduction workers. We strive to treat the whole person considering all their specific health concerns.
