We value community participation in all aspects of the CHC to provide opportunities for community members to have a voice. Community health centres are governed by an elected volunteer Board of Directors.

The East Mississauga CHC will be asking for volunteers interested in participating on the Coordinating Council. The Coordinating Council, chosen by the Membership Committee, will have a variety of responsibilities in the strategic development and community leadership of the East Mississauga CHC. Please check back in February 2009 for more information on how to submit a nomination to the Membership Committee.

Do you want to participate in the way your health care is administered?
