With initial outreach programs dating back to 1969, Somerset West Community Health Centre (SWCHC) has been  serving its surrounding community for more than 35 years. Since its earliest days as a small healthcare clinic operating out of “borrowed” facilities above a tavern, SWCHC has been dedicated to the health of our community.

Today, the Centre’s mission has expanded its focus from primary care to include comprehensive cutting-edge community-based programs, programs that address people’s overall well-being – social, mental and physical – in the context of building healthy families and communities.

"SWCHC is a well-established organization, but is not just content with past successes. Those involved at all levels of the organization share a passion for their work and respect for each other. They continually reflect on past practice and work to improve what they do in the interests of SWCHC clients and community."
