Established in 1978, SWCHC provides a wide range of health care services such as primary health care, health promotion, community development, mental health, and harm reduction.

What the HART Hub Entails

The Somerset West Community Health Centre (SWCHC) is excited to announce the launch of the 24/7 Homelessness and Addiction Recovery Treatment (HART) HUB, a transformative initiative designed to provide integrated support to people experiencing complex health and social issues related to substance use and addictions: and aims to connect people who are experiencing homelessness or are at risk of losing their housing and/or people who have mental health, to treatment and preventative services, while addressing basic needs such as food, clothing and showers.

We are seeking passionate, dedicated individuals to join our dynamic team and contribute to meaningful change in the community.

Join us at SWCHC’s HART HUB and become part of a dedicated team that is making a difference by providing integrated, person-centered care that empowers individuals and fosters lasting change.
