Community Health Commons
A volunteer-driven, open source commons for health navigation, prevention, and community resources in Regina, Saskatchewan.
Ten things
- The Community Health Commons is a volunteer-run, open source project that helps Regina residents find the free health resources that already exist, understand how to use the system, and act on prevention before treatment is needed.
- Clinical features come later, if ever, and only after province-specific legal review, insurance, and credential verification against professional college registries.
- Find what already exists An interactive map of free and low-barrier clinics, immunization sites, screening programs, and community health services in Regina.
- This one launches with only what can be run safely by volunteers with no personal health information collected: a map, a library, and a navigation warm line.
- Get help navigating Trained volunteers help you understand referrals, prepare questions for appointments, and find the right service.
- Every guide cites Canadian public sources and shows exactly who reviewed it and when it expires.
- See everything we do Volunteer hours, cases resolved, events listed: all our activity is published as open data.
- If you want to contribute to education, resource verification, or the navigation line, register your interest .
- The ask is small and bounded: a scheduled shift, a defined scope, a coordinator who handles logistics.
- Learn prevention basics Plain-language guides on nutrition, movement, sleep, screening, and more.
