ABOUT WELLFORT COMMUNITY HEALTH SERVICES

WellFort Community Health Services is a non-profit, values-based organization committed to providing inclusive, accessible, and sustainable health care services to diverse communities across Peel Region. Through a comprehensive range of primary care, health promotion, chronic disease management, and community development initiatives, WellFort works collaboratively with clients, families, and community partners to improve health outcomes and strengthen community capacity.

HART HUB

Canadian Mental Health Association Peel Dufferin (CMHA Peel Dufferin) has partnered with various agencies across Peel Region, including WellFort Community Health Services, to offer integrated services to the local community at the new Brampton-based Homelessness and Recovery Treatment (HART) Hub.

HART Hubs are community-based care hubs designed to address the mental health, addiction and housing needs of people experiencing homelessness. They bring together a range of services, including mental health and addiction supports, primary care, housing and employment services, to provide coordinated, accessible care for individuals with complex needs.

WellFort plays a key role within the Brampton HART Hub by providing primary care services to individuals accessing the Hub. Through our primary care team, WellFort helps ensure that people experiencing homelessness and other complex barriers to care can access timely, integrated and trauma-informed health services in a setting that brings multiple supports together under one roof.





HART Hubs aim to support individuals with complex needs in their recovery, while helping them achieve housing stability, health and greater social inclusion.

Achieving our vision means we’re recruiting people who are passionate about driving change and delivering evidence-based, responsive and affirming care that meets people where they are.
