About our PCHS
Thirty five years of care that speaks the community's languages.
Punjabi Community Health Services is a pioneer, community based, not for profit charitable organization that has been serving diverse populations for over 35 years, from Brampton and Mississauga, across Peel.
What PCHS does, in its own frame.
PCHS provides a wide range of culturally responsive services in the areas of addictions, mental health, geriatric care, health promotion, domestic violence, parenting, settlement, and support for women, children, and youth. It is widely recognized for its innovative Integrated Holistic Service Delivery Model, and has contributed to several community based research studies. The organization is fully accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF) International and Imagine Canada, reflecting its commitment to quality and accountability. PCHS is also a 2SLGBTQ sensitive organization, committed to equity, inclusion, and culturally appropriate care.
Its current Strategic Plan runs from 2023 to 2027 and is published on the official site.
The Mandate
To provide culturally and linguistically responsive health, social, and newcomer settlement services to equity deserving populations.
The Mission
To support and enhance the well-being of individuals, families, and communities using an inclusion, diversity, equity and accessibility framework (IDEA).
The Vision
Healthy and thriving diverse communities.
The Model
An Integrated Holistic Service Delivery Model: health, social and settlement services planned together, because a client's needs never arrive one at a time.
Four values, printed on the wall and practised in the work.
Inclusion
Treating people fairly and with dignity, and incorporating equity in all areas of the work.
Excellence
Excellence is a habit, not a one time action, fueled by a relentless pursuit to exceed the expectations of the people served.
Accountability
The biggest asset is the trust of clients, community, donors, funders, and staff, practised by being open, transparent and responsible in everything.
Innovation
Finding new solutions takes the courage to challenge the status quo, and a habit of creative approaches to emerging challenges.

Nine programs carry this mandate into homes, schools, shelters and seniors' kitchens across Peel.
