COMMUNITY HEALTH PROGRAM COORDINATOR
Filling an Important Community Need
In November 2021, PAQ added a new position to the team, a Community Health Program Coordinator. Working in partnership with the CHUM, and combining western and traditional holistic medicine, the coordinator accompanies homeless and Indigenous peoples to
access physical and mental health services. Support is offered for critical and chronic health issues, with the program, providing elders, translators, spiritual healers, and accompaniments to
ensure the best possible care and follow-up.
Since November 2021, 42.85% of all
interventions for the Health Program
Coordinator pertain to mental health. In
addition to the CHUM, PAQ’s Community Health Coordinator also works effectively with other referral sites, such as the Douglas, the CLSC and the Native Friendship Centre of Montreal.
