Our Why
Vision: Together we seek to build a safe, just, and healthy community for all.
Mission: Pinecrest-Queensway Community Health Centre is an innovative community based, multiservice centre. We strive to meet the needs of the diverse communities we serve. We work in partnership with individuals, families and communities to achieve their full potential, paying particular attention to those facing barriers to access, including those who are most vulnerable and at risk.
What We Do
We provide more than 60 health and social services to people who live in our community. We serve around 45,000 clients each year. Our more than 80 partnerships extend our services to make sure we can connect residents to the supports they need.


Who We Serve
Pinecrest-Queensway is deeply connected to the communities we serve. We pay particular attention to vulnerable groups including people living with low-income, seniors, those affected by mental illness and/or addictions, and newcomers to Canada.
Where We Serve
Pinecrest-Queensway Community Health Centre is located in Ottawa, Ontario, on the traditional unceded territory of the Algonquin Anishnaabeg people. Our employees work directly with residents in more than 60 locations. Most of our programs are focused on the Pinecrest-Queensway and South Nepean catchment areas but we have a number of services that reach out to residents across the City of Ottawa and Eastern Ontario.
