Shout out to our provincial @BCACHC, national @CACHC_ACCSC, and international @IFCHC associations during #COVID19 for connecting us locally and around the world through #COVID19CHC updates. Our best wishes to Community Health Center colleagues around the world!
THREAD... 1) We're incredibly grateful to @TD_Canada @TDNews_Canada employees across Canada donating to #COVID19 community responses. Here's a snapshot of why donations to @CACHC_ACCSC make a huge difference, supporting Community Health Centres (#CHCs) across the country.
Community Health Centres across Canada are working hard through the pandemic to serve those dealing with violence at home. But underlying causes of domestic violence existed long before this crisis emerged. Now we have opportunity to improve policy. @FreeOfViolence#COVID19CHC
COVID shines a light on the gaps in our existing social and health systems. Thank you to #CommunityHealthCentres - already modeling care that is responsive to local complexity, delivered by teams who understand how different communities are impacted by barriers to health equity.
"Physical distancing measures together with job losses, financial instability, public closures, stress of family responsibilities, and isolation from social networks are all putting extreme pressure on households." #bchealth#COVID19CHC

Thank you to our provincial @BCACHC, national @CACHC_ACCSC, and international @IFCHC associations for drawing attention to the needs of vulnerable community members and the impact that Community Health Centres are having across Canada and globally through #COVID19CHC efforts!
Today and every day, Community Health Centres #CHCs across Canada like @SCHCOnt@TAIBU_CHC in Scarborough, Ontario are here for families and community. This is another example of #COVID19CHC efforts across the country focused on both the primary and secondary impacts of #COVID19.
We'd also like to share this story about @BMHC_Healthcare's new mobile care unit, now operating in Edmonton thanks to donation from @TELUS (thank you!). This adds to the growing fleet of mobile care units operated by #CHCs across Canada. https://t.co/2uBJlzbr3a #cdnhealth
In these times of crisis, it's imperative to look to, and care for, those who fall through the cracks of our systems. Community Health Centres are delivering care with #healthequity in mind.
THREAD: This story about frontline efforts to contain #COVID19 is one that needs more attention. Across Canada, Community Health Centres #CHCs are the first line of care & support for many vulnerable members of our communities. #COVID19CHC@JustinTrudeau@PattyHajdu@CPHO_Canada
That’s EXACTLY what Community Health Centres across Canada (and globally) are doing. #CHCs#ProtectTheVulnerable through an integrated, team-based approach to primary care + social services, designed with/for local communities! Thanks @CPHO_Canada!for your leadership! #COVID19CHC
