“our goal is to make health care accessible to all individuals in our community to provide the care they deserve,” the community health centre said. “our team challenges the stigma around hepatitis c by providing education, awareness, and treatment to the community, specifically those in need.”
representatives on site will be from the community health centre, erie shores healthcare, hotel-dieu grace healthcare, pozitive pathways, the windsor-essex county health unit, and windsor regional hospital.
