The East Region Virtual Care Clinic a convenient alternative to the emergency room!
The Centre de santé communautaire de l’Estrie is a proud partner of the Virtual Care Clinic. This practical and innovative solution allows individuals with or without a family doctor or nurse practitioner to receive timely healthcare by offering virtual appointments.
The Virtual Care Clinic can help if you have:

Cornwall, April 18, 2024—From April 14 to April 20, 2024, in Canada, we celebrate National Volunteer Week. This year, we are highlighting the importance of each volunteer and each action and contribution they have made at a time when we need their support more than ever.
The Centre de santé communautaire de l’Estrie (CSCE) would like to acknowledge the work and immense contribution of our many volunteers. Thanks to their involvement in our communities, the CSCE is able to complete the offering of our services.
With the support of Health Promoters, some of our volunteers lead and support the exercise groups, walking clubs, and snowshoeing clubs. Another team of volunteers assists the Community Health Workers with the preparation and distribution of Green Food Box Program. The Primary Health Team in Cornwall also receives help from volunteers during our annual flu vaccination clinics.
Lucie and Francine, two volunteers responsible for the exercise groups, state: “We are happy to offer exercise classes for the elderly. Many participants arrive 30 minutes before class starts to socialize together. Each participant tells their story, one more interesting than the other. We are rewarded by the smiles and confidences of the people present. We are proud of the joy, comfort, and above all, the improvement in health that we bring to our group.”
For Emilie Duquette, Community Health Worker responsible for the Embrun and North Stormont Green Food Box program: “The invaluable commitment of volunteers ensures the smooth running and continuity of the Green Food Box. Every month, volunteers prepare and distribute more than 250 boxes to various Green Food Box sites managed by the CSCE. Thanks to their hard work and valuable contribution, the Green Food Box has been very successful over the last few years, and the precious involvement of volunteers is felt in every aspect of the program.”

Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: How can I know if I am a CSCE member?
A: The Secretary of the CSCE corporation maintains an up-to-date list of members. If you have attended the latest annual general meetings of CSCE and had voting rights, you are likely on the CSCE membership list. By submitting your renewal request, the secretary can confirm with you whether you are properly registered on this list or not.
Q: I am a client of CSCE, why should I renew my membership?
A: Being a client (patient) of CSCE, meaning receiving care and services at one of CSCE’s sites, does not imply being a member of CSCE. It is not necessary to be a member to be a client and receive care and services at CSCE. Membership status grants the right to sit on the board of directors and vote at the annual general meetings of CSCE.
