Changing Health, Changing Lives

The Alex CHC is changing how we look at health and health care in Calgary.

We know that good health is the complete state of physical, mental, emotional and economic well-being. We cannot enjoy whole health when we are hungry, when we are in chronic pain, when we don’t have a roof over our head, when we feel disconnected from our community, or when we are living in poverty. Fixing one of these issues while ignoring the rest is just a band-aid solution.

Our health, housing and food programs support our most vulnerable neighbours by tackling tough health and social issues head-on. Our preventative, cost-effective programs save millions in taxpayer dollars by moving people from poverty to stability -- from crisis to wellness.

A little goes a long way at The Alex CHC. Your generosity can sponsor medical equipment on our Health Buses, help us teach cooking skills at our Community Food Centre, provide identification for our street-connected youth, and help house someone who has experienced homelessness. You can choose from a number of of options regarding how you want to direct your donation to The Alex CHC.
