“We are pleased to be a part of the Our Healthbox program. This initiative will help increase local access to wellness items and harm reduction supplies by being available 24/7 in a central location and also link people to the resources they need in our community.”
Dr. Glenn Corneil, Acting Medical Officer of Health
“As a person with lived experience, I understand the value that anonymous access to harm reduction supplies and basic life necessities can have is enormous. It reduces the feeling of stigma and makes it easier to make a self-determined decision to search out potential positive changes.”
BP, TDAS Member
“The Centre de santé communautaire du Témiskaming is pleased to partner with Timiskaming Health Unit on the Our Healthbox program. This initiative will enhance access to resources and materials to reduce harm and contribute to better health outcomes and well-being among community members.”

Having a Healthbox as an easily accessible option provides individuals with a feeling of autonomy, humanity, and hope.

It also serves as a conversation starter to help address other gaps in care, stigma around substance use, sexually transmitted infections and other conditions…

We believe that our Healthbox will continue to help engage and support the community and our clients to stay safe and healthy.
