Originally founded in 1977, Scarborough Centre for Healthy Communities (SCHC) is one of the most established and comprehensive community health organizations in the province. The organization owes its beginnings to 13 community agencies, a core group of community leaders and countless volunteers who identified emerging health and social needs within Scarborough. After incorporating and acquiring not-for-profit status, the organization piloted initiatives that addressed pressing needs while setting new standards of excellence. These initiatives included Meals-on-Wheels, home support, transportation and family support programs. Like Scarborough, SCHC has experienced immense growth since its inception. Today, we employ approximately 205 staff and engage a core group of 350 volunteers. We operate 42 distinct and integrated services across 10 sites that work together to improve the health of our community. ( SCHCOnt ) In order to remain a client-centred, integrated, engaged and proactive organization, we’ve continued to work closely with our community members, foster partnerships with initiatives that address pressing needs while setting new standards of excellence.
