The Guelph Community Health Centre (Guelph CHC) is a community governed health organization which provides comprehensive, wraparound health care to people with barriers to health and well-being (the populations prioritized by Guelph CHC ). We are looking for candidates for our board of directors and want to welcome people who are passionate about our community and who represent the diverse community that Guelph CHC serves. This includes a commitment to achieving a board membership that reflects the broadest range of qualifications, skills, experiences, perspectives, and the many personal identities (intersectionality) essential to advancing GCHC’s mission. A diverse board that fosters inclusion will have more innovative decision making and better positive impact on the social determinants of health.
