About us
Who We Serve
Patients at EFry Health Centre often experience poverty, grappling with complex physical and mental health needs that often remain unattended outside of emergency care. Their challenging circumstances not only hinder their ability to navigate the healthcare system but also make it difficult to afford even basic over-the-counter medications or recommended treatments.
The EFry Health Centre offers vulnerable women and children a comprehensive solution by providing holistic, gender-sensitive, trauma-informed, and culturally safe healthcare services. Moreover, it facilitates streamlined access to EFry’s wide range of programs, including shelter and housing support, substance use recovery, job training and employment assistance, and programs for healthy child development.
