The Community Learning Centre for Healthy Living, or the Health Promotion Hub, is one component of the Interprofessional Learning
Clinic and supports interprofessional student learning, practice and research activities related to community-based health promotion. Our students
collaborate in planning, designing, delivering and evaluating health promotion programs related to the determinants of health to a range of target
populations including GBC students, staff and the surrounding community.
 The walk-in services the Health Promotion Hub provides include:
- Free blood pressure testing and monitoring
- Free health resources
on topics such as diabetes, smoking cessation, stress management, nutrition, heart health and much more.
- A reference library
- The
Health Risk Assessment on-line health survey
Our initiatives are led by a health promotion specialist with advanced training and experience in community health promotion and health education.
The specialist provides guidance and direction to the students who in turn execute the well planned programs.
Our student-lead campus and community
initiatives support the international definition of health promotion "Health promotion is the process of enabling people to increase
control over, and to improve their health". (Ottawa Charter, World Health Organization, 1986) and is guided by the National Interprofessional
Competency Framework, as published by the Canadian Interprofessional Health Collaborative (February 2010).
