LAMP Community Health Centre

Mission

LAMP Community Health Centre strives to improve quality of life by supporting people to reach their full potential. We do this by working in partnership with our community to address new and emerging community needs, and by supporting a wide-range of health care services, community programs, and advocacy initiatives that promote the physical, emotional, social, and economic well-being of our community.

A range of services are offered through an integrated approach to wellness which links clients to the programs they need to maintain good health.This could include counselling, access to food, help with housing issues, joining a social group, literacy or information on income support.
