Community Health Teams

Community Health Teams (CHTs) support individuals and families to build knowledge, confidence, and skills to help make healthy lifestyle choices and to better prevent and manage risk factors that are common across chronic conditions. CHTs partner with Primary Health Care, the IWK Health Centre, health care providers and citizens to tailor programs and services to meet the specific needs of individual communities.
