About Us:  The West Elgin Community Health Centre is located in the beautiful rural community of West Lorne, Ontario conveniently situated a half hour outside of London and Chatham.

The West Elgin Community Health Centre has served our rural communities for 30 years. We work alongside extraordinary people at the Centre. We are very proud to be a part of an alliance of community health centres across the province where we focus on improving the health and wellbeing of people and communities. We continue to value and advocate for a more inclusive society.

We believe that housing, education, food and the environment all play a role in health and well-being. We also believe that language, literacy and poverty should not get in the way of receiving great care.

Our team provides primary health care, illness prevention and health promotion services as well as a range of community programs primarily to the residents of Dutton Dunwich and West Elgin. Our diabetes services are open to anyone and are offered at multiple locations in Elgin County.

We strive for a healthy and supportive work environment valuing compassion, excellence, collaboration, accountability, respect and equity. Our vision supports a vibrant and caring community, people and workplace and is demonstrated by the Centre’s 2021 Healthy Workplace award and 2023 CMHA recognition for workplace mental health initiatives.

The Centre is committed to a respectful, diverse, accessible and inclusive work environment. We encourage and welcome applications from persons with disabilities and a broad range of cultural, ethnic, racial and gender identities and expression. Reasonable accommodation will be provided in all phases of the recruitment process.
