CHCs serve catchment areas that correspond
to geographically well-defined and
recognized neighbourhoods. These neighbourhoods
show close correspondence with municipal and provincial
election boundaries and have service agency
catchment areas conforming to these boundaries.

CHCs are funded by the provincial government to
provide primary health care (an entitlement for Canadians)
and develop community-based health promotion
programs. CHCs are also chargedwith identifying and
responding to the needs of vulnerable populations and
usually do so through partnerships with other agencies.
Staff  includes physicians, nurses, social workers, dietitians,
health promoters, and community outreach workers.
