# About the organization 

 Belleville Quinte West Community Health Centre (BQWCHC) is here to support you to reach your wellness goals. From our two locations in Belleville and Trenton, BQWCHC offers programs and services to improve individual health and community well-being. We are focused on health equity, with services available to anyone in the community, regardless of identity, income, or OHIP status.

Our programs and services include primary health care delivered by an experienced, collaborative team of family doctors, nurse practitioners, and other skilled health professionals. Our health and wellness programs include outreach support and drop-in groups, exercise programs and volunteering, and disease and illness prevention. We also offer regional programs, such as telemedicine, a dental clinic and support for pregnant and parenting women with a history of problematic substance use. If our centre doesn’t offer a particular service you need, we can help to connect you to community resources that will support you.

As a not-for-profit, community-based organization, we work in partnership with other healthcare and community organizations to ensure residents of Belleville and Quinte West have access to the right mix programs and services to meet the community’s unique needs. As those change, our services evolve to meet them.

Physicians work as members of a team that includes nurse practitioners, nurses, social workers, pharmacist, dentist, dietician, Certified Diabetes Educator/CDPM nurse, housing worker, community resource worker and a host of other programs, groups and services to clients of BQWCHC and community members.
