Grow With Me

Grow With Me has had great success over the past few months and is continuing through the winder.  This parent and tot group is organized by a mother in the community with help from NECHC staff. The group offers a time for parents to get together with their kids, learn about nutrition, safety and well-being, and also trade tips among one another.  Fun activities and themes are offered each week, and new members are always welcome. Grow With Me is offered upstairs at the North End Community Health Centre, each Tuesday afternoon from 1:00pm – 2:30pm.

About the Centre

The Centre was founded in 1971 by a group of local residents in response to a need for health care services in North End Halifax.  Located on Gottingen Street, we are in the heart of a unique and culturally diverse community.

The North End Community Health Association encourages members and program users to be involved in setting the direction for their health Centre.  Users of the Centre, residents and friends of the Centre are encouraged to become members.  The Board of Directors is drawn from members of the Association and oversees the governance of the Centre through planning and policy setting.

The Centre partners with many local community organizations and service providers to support community health.  The Centre also serves as an educational learning environment for students in the health profession.

The Centre is funded by the Provincial Department of Health managed through the Capital District Health Authority, MSI and through various grants and charitable donations.

Volunteerism is always welcomed and appreciated, particularly on committees of the Health Centre and of the Board of Directors.

Watch for the Centre's informative and educational quarterly newsletter, 'The North End Pulse'.
