Improving Primary Health Care Services for English-speaking Persons in Quebec
$10,000,000
The Community Health and Social Services Network (CHSSN) has as its mandate to promote projects and partnerships aimed at improving access to health services and social services in English in Quebec. This mandate is fulfilled with the help of 45 community-based organizations, public institutions and other member organizations.
Partners:
Regional health and social services authorities, health and community-based organizations.
Objectives:
The initiative is aimed at improving services and primary care as well as medical and general services, long-term care, and youth and rehabilitation programs for the Anglophone population; it is also aimed at creating links between the community and establishments providing health and social services.
Activities:
The main activities involve strengthening Info-Santé in order to provide English-speaking people with services in their language; encouraging English-speaking people to use the services of Info-Santé adapted to their needs; regrouping Anglophone clients dispersed over the territory in order to constitute a large enough pool of clients to offer quality health and social services; and regrouping the Anglophone clientele in order to offer cultural and linguistic well-being along with the appropriate services.
Expected Results:
- Better access to health services for Anglophones in their own language; and
- Better adapted services, within the community or in institutions, in co-operation with families and the social network.
