About NECHC

The North End Community Health Centre (NECHC) was established in 1971 in response to an absence of primary health care and other health services in Halifax's North End.

Located on Gottingen Street, we are in the heart of a unique and culturally diverse community. Today, governed by the North End Community Health Association, the
NECHC is viewed by area residents as a "beacon of hope" in the community.

Much more than a Primary Care Clinic, the NECHC has expanded in response to unmet needs of community members and is highly-valued by its patients and clients and their families.

NECHC provides services to those living on the margins of society, through MOSH,
Housing First and a wide range of community outreach initiatives.

Vision
Strong community - healthy people.

Mission

We support health and well-being in our community through quality primary health care, education and advocacy in an environment in which people are treated with respect and dignity and there is equitable access to services and programs.

Values
Respect. Community. Compassion. Excellence. Innovation

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Commitment
The North End Community Health Centre is committed to being an inclusive organization. We are working to ensure our organization represents the diverse people and communities we serve.
