“Our community has demonstrated a need for easier, safer, judgement-free access to harm reduction and general health and hygiene supplies. Our Healthbox will allow for improved, anonymous access to these items, while promoting awareness of resources available to the community.”
Beth Hudson-Keddy, Primary Care Nurse
“When community members know that they can come to NorWest for supplies available in our Healthbox, it will help us build relationships and increase trust with our community. We can then better support them to address their other complex needs needs”

Our Community, Our Healthbox

Our Community, Our Healthbox

A commitment to work with <span class="text-color-beige1">individuals, neighbours, healthcare providers and partners</span> to offer a variety of programs and services.

Working to change how substance use is viewed. Our aim to open new pathways for collaboration and integration.

With our Healthbox being the first in Manitoba, we hope it will promote harm reduction and encourage conversations about healthcare needs.

We want to be part of the movement that shares our ideals and values. We advocate for these values daily. Our goal is to strive for a stronger, healthier community.
