REACH aims to meet the medical, dental and cultural needs of clients. It focuses on prevention and programs that reflect the ongoing needs of the Grandview-Woodlands community.
The Multicultural Family Centre (MFC) works with immigrants and refugee communities to deliver culturally-responsive health promotion programs and help address what REACH team members often refer to as the social determinants of health. REACH offers programs and services in over six languages, including English, Spanish, Amharic, Vietnamese, Arabic, Tigrinya and Swahili.
