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.

A bite from an infected mosquito can cause infection with West Nile virus. 

Did you know that 2018 was a record year for the number of people infected with West Nile virus in Quebec?

West Nile virus (WNV) symptoms can range from mild to severe. Most people (70% to 80%) who are infected with WNV have no symptoms, but anyone infected can be at risk of developing more severe symptoms and health effects.

Adults over the age of 50, people with chronic diseases (such as cancer, diabetes, alcoholism), or who require medical treatment that may weaken their immune system, are at greater risk for serious health effects from the virus.

Humans are most at risk of becoming infected with West Nile virus between mid-July and early September. Mosquitoes are often most active at dawn (first light) and dusk (just before dark).

The best way to avoid becoming infected with West Nile virus is to prevent mosquito bites. To reduce the risk of being bitten, you can:

  • Wear light-coloured clothing (mosquitoes are attracted to dark colours), long pants and loose-fitting shirts with long sleeves, socks and a hat
  • Use insect repellent (bug sprays and lotions) that contains DEET or Icaridin.
  • Reduce mosquito habitats near your home. Get rid of standing water where mosquitoes lay eggs. Drain or dry off water in: old tires (even tire swings), rainwater barrels, flower pots, wading pools.
  • Put screens on your windows and doors to keep mosquitoes out of your home.

Also, read the safety alert: Safe use of personal insect repellents.
