To assist West Hill Community Services in the development of a satellite location in northwest Scarborough, Public Interest designed and implemented a community outreach strategy to identify key issues in health care services for the many communities in the area. The resulting model for service delivery reflected the community’s input and the health needs of residents.
The consultation was designed to reflect the demographic makeup of northwest Scarborough, including several of the major ethnocultural groups as well as the significant presence of youth and seniors in the area. We conducted our research into the community’s health needs and satellite governance structures using key informant interviews of community leaders and service providers in the area.
