Vision
Through our diverse programs and services, BQWCHC strives to achieve our vision of Healthy communities where everyone belongs.
Mission
We do this by focusing on our core mission:
To improve the health of people and communities, with a focus on those who face barriers to physical, mental and social well-being. We do this by ensuring equitable access to primary health care, building community, empowering people, collaborating, and delivering evidence-informed quality programs and services.
Values
These are our values, the guiding principles that inform how we make decisions and act:
Inclusion & Respect – we believe everyone has the right to be culturally and socially accepted, welcomed and equitably treated.
Integrity – we believe in being honest, accountable and steadfast in our work and relationships with clients, volunteers, colleagues and partners.
Health Equity – we believe differences in health outcomes that are driven by social determinants of health such as social inclusion, access to shelter, financial resources, food security and education, are avoidable and unfair.
Holistic – we believe health is a state of physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing and considers the whole person.
Strengths-Based & People-Centred – we believe everyone has strengths to build on and our approach centres the people we serve by ‘meeting them where they are at’.
Compassion – we believe in honouring the humanity in all people, treating people with kindness, and taking action to respond to the challenges they face.
