Community Health Clinics are located throughout the city of Winnipeg and provide a variety of different health and social services; some clinics focus on particular practice areas or population groups (e.g., Francophones, women), while others provide general care. They are operated by Community Boards. Primary care providers at these clinics receive alternative funding or are funded on a sessional basis.
