Victoria Community Health Centre (VCHC)

Creating Community Wellness Society (CCWS) is a Victoria-based health and wellness charity.  Since inception, CCWS has supported the Victoria Community Health Centre (VCHC) through Wellness programs, adding Nursing Services in 2021.  CCWS also serves as fiscal host to health and wellness community projects.

Public health care has declined significantly in recent years.  CCWS raises funds through grants, donations and foundations that support our mission to provide health and wellness services for Victoria residents.

Our Nursing Services and Virtual Care programs require financial support to continue to provide direct care, referral services and wellness programs that assist individuals in developing agency over their own health.  VCHC does this in partnership with community partners such as Activity Centres, other Wellness Centres and direct care providers. In the first eleven (11) months of 2024 we assisted 1297 individuals. We also partner with pharmacies, Family Practitioners, screening services and specialists.

Our education programs range from information sessions to peer led programs that support changing behaviour to change one’s health status.  We use the Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) as a way to guide patients to learn how to make changes that support wellness outcomes.

Donations over $20 are eligible for a charitable tax receipt via Canada Helps.
