Today, Durham Community Health Centre hosted a Day of Reconciliation and Ceremony in observation of the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.

In partnership with Memengwaa Healing, the Indigenous team at DCHC led a full day program that connected culture, mourned those lost, and supported Survivors of Canada’s Residential School system and other colonial structures.

We would like to say Chii Miigwetch to the Indigenous Team at DCHC and Memengwaa healing for leading an incredibly impactful day full of learning and community support.

Truth and Reconciliation is an ongoing process, we invite community members to learn more here: https://www.durhamchc.ca/dchc-land-acknowledgement/

School's back, and so are coughs, fevers, rashes and the "should I get this looked at?" questions that pick up once classrooms fill again. The East Region Virtual Care Clinic is there for exactly those moments.

Connect with a Nurse Practitioner by video or phone for new or persistent symptoms, or for health advice and guidance. You don't need a family doctor to be seen. The clinic is also here for anyone who's unattached or can't get a timely appointment with their own provider.

🕐 Open 7 days a week, 1:00–9:00 p.m.�
