[bread_crumb]
Welcome
Welcome to Listuguj Community Healthy Services (LCHS). At Health Services, we provide services and programs, which contribute towards building a strong and healthy community.
At Health Services we have two goals: Community Wellness and Safety. We promote healthy living for all community members, with a strong concentration towards the youth and elder populations. In the coming years, we will focus on three health priorities:
- Chronic illnesses
- Mental health
- Addictions
We are building a community health plan based on our health care needs. Our community knows what it needs and we can take ownership over health.
To meet the growing demand for excellence in management practices, the LCHS Directorate is working towards achieving accreditation in line with Canada’s Effective Organization Standards.
Working together, and with your involvement, we will continue our journey towards a healthy and safe community.
Wela’lioq,
Donna Metallic, B.Ed.
