Help to build a new model of Integrative Primary Healthcare in Victoria.

The Victoria Community Health Co-operative serves the Victoria area through our community outreach programs and the Co-op Community Health Centre in James Bay.

We are working towards operating our health centre in a manner that empowers patients to be the leaders in their own wellness, offers a fully integrative approach to health, focuses on wellness of the whole person, and provides outstanding access in a manner that will minimize the need for secondary and tertiary care.
