PCHS MB Board Report
May 15, 2024
BOARD CHAIR MESSAGE PCHS Manitoba started off as a dream shared by like-minded South Asian health and wellness practitioners. Systemic barriers are challenging to navigate when addressing the needs of diverse communities such as the South Asian Community. There was a demonstrated gap between the services currently available, and the capacity of the South Asian Community to engage in these services. Differences in cultural and religious practices, and socio-economic factors dependent on the lifestyle of new immigrants are barriers to providing impactful and meaningful services. PCHS MB is determined to address these barriers as the organization grows and expands in the coming years.
