Community Health
Community health services delivers essential healthcare to adults and children in convenient places close to their homes and communities.
We partner with communities and other health care service providers to assess, treat, educate and care for Anishinabek people. Together, we are improving health, well-being and quality of life.
Community Health Programs include:
Healthy Sexuality
Making safe and responsible sexual health choices is essential to overall healthy living. Dilico provides free sexual health education and support services to individuals, couples and groups.
Our services focus on building respectful and positive sexual relationships and teach people about caring for their physical and mental wellness.
Prenatal and Maternal Health
Dilico’s prenatal and maternal health programs help parents stay healthy before and during a pregnancy. We provide information to women and their families about prenatal health, healthy diet, nutrition and exercise, prenatal classes, home visits, nursing assessments, the Aboriginal Healthy Babies, Healthy Children (AHBHC) Program, and after care.
Infant and Preschool Health
We know that a healthy start gives children the best possible chance in life. Dilico provides screenings, assessments and support for infants and pre-school children to promote positive transitions to school.
School Health
Dilico’s school health program contributes to the well-being of students by helping children and youth develop positive health attitudes inside and outside the classroom. Additionally, our health education and disease prevention initiatives are tailored to meet cultural, individual and community needs.
