Flemingdon Health Centre (FHC) is a registered charity and an incorporated not-for-profit Community Health Centre (CHC). We provide a range of health related services based on the social determinants of health and community engagement models. We are primarily funded through the Ministry of Health/Ontario Health (Toronto).

Along with the provision of family medicine, FHC also focuses on the factors that affect our community’s health. Our programs and services emphasize community involvement, health promotion and disease prevention. Together with those we serve, we address identified issues, such as poverty, employment, food security, isolation and newcomer support. We also work in close partnership with other agencies and organizations to ensure efficient service delivery.

When the health centre opened its doors in 1972 it was a satellite clinic of Sunnybrook Hospital. FHC was incorporated as a CHC in 1975, however we began our long-standing tradition as a teaching centre in 1972. We are affiliated with the University of Toronto through the Department of Family and Community Medicine. We also receive students in various disciplines from other universities and community colleges.
