The IWK Health Centre is located in the south end of Halifax. The front entrance is on University Avenue between Robie Street and Martello Street.
History
The present-day IWK Health Centre traces its history to the development of two separate facilities, a pediatric hospital and a maternity hospital.
Pediatric hospital
In the early 20th century, a group of Halifax residents along with interested physicians proposed the idea of establishing a children's hospital in Halifax. A multi-year fundraising campaign ensued, raising $6,000 by 1907; later that year a donation of $10,000 by the late Mr. F.D. Corbett resulted in the beginning of construction of the Halifax Children's Hospital which opened for use in 1909. It was located on the east side of Robie Street on the block bounded by University Avenue and South Street; in 1922 the Grace Maternity Hospital would be built on the opposite (north) side of University Avenue. This early pediatric facility had no private beds and, since health care in Canada at that time was private, surgical and medical staff donated their services without charge. The building expanded in 1919 to increase bed capacity to 50, followed by a further expansion in 1931 to 90 beds, and finally 217 beds in 1955.
A healthcare center, health center, or community health center is one of a network of clinics staffed by a group of general practitioners and nurses providing healthcare services to people in a certain area. Typical services covered are family practice and dental care, but some clinics have expanded greatly and can include internal medicine, pediatric, women’s care, family planning, pharmacy, optometry, lab, and more. In countries with universal healthcare, most people use the healthcare centers. In countries without universal healthcare, the clients include the uninsured, underinsured, low-income or those living in areas where little access to primary health care is available.
Community health centres by country
Canada
Community Health Centers (CHCs) have existed in Ontario for more than 40 years. Most CHC's consist of an interdisciplinary team of health care providers using electronic health records.
In Quebec, local community services centres known by their French acronym, CLSC, offer routine health and social services, including consultations with general practitioners with and without an appointment.
Prostitution is illegal in Malaysia. Demand for prostitution has created a problem of people trafficking from China, Vietnam, and other nearby countries. Many of the prostitutes in Malaysia from China are from ethnic minorities like the Dai from Yunnan. Sexual services, however, are widely available and laws banning prostitution remain largely unenforced. Many pimps now ply their trade on the internet.

What is a Community Health Center?
Community Health Centers serve the primary health care needs of 23 million patients in over 9,000 locations across America. They play a crucial role in the nation’s health care system, providing affordable health services for millions of uninsured, the working poor and newly jobless Americans. Health centers are good for the country.They lower overall health care costs, improve the health of their patients and generate economic opportunities in the communities they serve by providing jobs and training for local people.
Community Health Centers create savings in health care every time a patient opts for an exam and treatment at the first sign of a health issue instead of waiting until a costly emergency room visit or hospitalization is the only option.
Each health center takes a...

Community Health Center Profile: Minneapolis, MN
Community University Health Care Center (CUHCC) serves a particularly diverse patient population in Minneapolis – which represents 12 different racial and ethnic groups that span five continents. Its staff of community health providers deliver culturally sensitive care to thousands of uninsured patients each year. CUHCC used its BD Helping Build Healthy Community grant funding to enhance the Medication Therapy Management services it offers to patients with chronic medical conditions – especially those who also cope with co-occurring mental health and substance abuse diagnoses.
The BD Helping Build Healthy Communities Program aims to strengthen the capacity of community health centers to provide care to vulnerable patients, through targeted grants. https://www.directrelief.org/work/bdhbh...

Each health center takes a tailored approach to meet the unique needs of the people in its surrounding community. That local approach to health care, combined with an emphasis on comprehensive preventative care, generates $24 billion in annual savings to the health care system - for the American taxpayer, local, state and federal governments and public and private payers alike.
