Seeking Board Members

Sept 2020-2022

We are seeking diverse, energetic new Board members to help guide our organization as it grows. Our Vision: Our vision is a community where all people have access to high quality primary health care and equal opportunity to be healthy. What We Do: We are a dynamic community-based interdisciplinary primary health care clinic providing comprehensive primary health care services to individuals and families residing in Peterborough City and County who are unattached to other primary care providers. The 360° Nurse Practitioner-Led Clinic is committed to providing access to innovative, integrated primary health care services and programs delivered collaboratively with a focus on healthy equity and patient centeredness. Located in the downtown core of Peterborough, we have expertise providing care to people whose health is made vulnerable by poverty, homelessness and poor access to the social determinants of health. We operate from a harm reduction philosophy. We are committed to working from within an anti-oppression and anti-racist philosophical framework that is trauma-informed and which values cultural humility and inclusiveness. As a Nurse-Practitioner-Led Clinic, we aspire to have Nurse Practitioners on our governance Board. At this time, we are especially looking for Nurse Practitioners and individuals who:

• Reflect the diversity of patients we serve, including people from Indigenous or other racialized communities or who identify as LGBTQ2S+.
• Have experience in human resources and/or financial management
• Have legal expertise
• Are interested in health care and have an understanding of the effects of poverty on health
