About Us
As CEO of Sherbourne Health Centre I welcome you to our website Sherbourne is an inclusive caring and accessible primary healthcare centre serving the diverse communities of southeast Toronto and beyond since 2003

We are widely recognized for our efforts to reduce social economic and other barriers to health care For example our mobile bus program delivering health care directly to people outside our walls and our infirmary for homeless and underhoused people are unique Canadian programs that have brought us international acclaim As well our leadingedge health and other services for the lesbian gay bisexual and trans LGBT communities attract attention around the world

At the Sherbourne Health Centre we believe that to truly build healthy individuals and communities services must extend beyond basic health care Through key partnerships we address the social determinants of health that are the root causes of many health problems

Since 2007 we have been serving clients through our Family Health Team that brings together healthcare providers and practitioners from different disciplines to coordinate the best possible care for a particular patient At Sherbourne a Family Health Team can comprise nurses health promoters mental health counsellors outreach workers dieticians clientresource workers and physicians all tailored to the needs of the client

Sherbourne Health Centre which opened its new Sherbourne Street doors in 2007 has community healthcare roots that go back more than half a century It is situated on the grounds of the former Central Hospital that began as an institution to serve the needs of new immigrants to Toronto It is truly fitting that newcomers are one of the key client groups served by the current Sherbourne Health Centre
