Roots Community Health Centre and Refugee Health
Through analysis and extensive experience, the Refugee Health Working Group for the Surrey-North Delta Division of Family Practice uncovered a substantial gap in primary healthcare services for vulnerable new community members in the Surrey-North Delta area.
The health and social needs of this diverse newcomer population can be complex due to significant and sustained hardships endured prior to their arrival in Canada.
Roots Community Health Centre is designed to meet this need.
