The Health Van is staffed by an interdisciplinary and multi-agency team made up of a Harm Reduction coordinator, Peer Support Coordinator, Registered Nurse, Social Support Coordinator, Peer workers, and a Harm Reduction Nurse. The van connects community members with harm reduction supplies, such as new drug gear, needle exchange, safer sex supplies, naloxone training and distribution, food, clothing hygiene items and general education about safer drug use and how to use equipment in different and safe ways.\r\n \r\nIn addition, people can receive nursing supports (such as wound care, vaccines, HIV, Hep C and STBBI testing, etc) as well as peer and social supports. Our Peer Support program supports the development of our social media content, medical infographics, and posters, and fosters connection and community in spaces where there is often stigma, barriers and isolation.\r\n\r\nIn 2021, the Guelph Community Health Van expanded its programming to Wellington County through a grant from Health Canada. We now visit seven rural communities, as well as multiple locations in the  Guelph downtown core.  We are fortunate to have a number of great partners on our Van including ARCH, Wellington-Dufferin-Guelph Public Health, Legal Aide, and the Family Midwifery Care CAMP Team.\r\n\r\nMany of the items on the van have been generously donated by individuals in our community- and we are so grateful for their help! We are always looking for new potential donors. To learn more about us, or how you can support our program, please contact the Van Team Lead. Or check out our social media pages for up to date information on Van Schedules, posters, in need donation items, events and more!\r\n\r\n<strong>Facebook</strong>: The Community Health Van-

As an organization we were aware that community health outreach is one of the most effective strategies to engage with people who live ‘outside’ of the system, who are marginalized, chronically poor, homeless or at risk of homelessness and who use substances.  Creating the ability to go out and meet people where they are at really decreases barriers faced in accessing services, and builds relationship of trust and respect that translates immediately into better whole health outcomes. The model of a mobile community health van just made sense for Sanguen and the work we wanted to accomplish, and so the long road to acquire community partners and funding began.  </p>\r\n\r\n<p>The Waterloo Region Community Health Van was launched in 2015, and services have grown through partnerships with the Region of Waterloo and the TELUS HEALTH FOR GOOD Program. The ‘Van’ services Kitchener and Cambridge and makes different stops throughout these cities.  Our interdisciplinary team staffs the Van, and connects community members with harm reduction supplies, such as new drug gear, needle exchange, condoms, etc; naloxone training and distribution; food, clothing, hygiene items, nursing, peer and social supports. </p>\r\n\r\n<p>The Community Health Van works in close collaboration and partnership with so many other excellent services, strengthening the services offered to our community members.  </p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<p> </p>\r\n[/av_textblock]\r\n\r\n[av_notification title=\'Nursing Care\' icon_select=\'yes\' icon=\'ue80b\' font=\'entypo-fontello\' color=\'custom\' border=\'\' custom_bg=\'#67b750\' custom_font=\'#ffffff\' size=\'large\' close_btn=\'\' cookie_lifetime=\'60\' av_uid=\'av-lh2bwxt2\' admin_preview_bg=\'\']\r\nThe Health Van is staffed by an interdisciplinary and multi-agency team made up of a Harm Reduction coordinator, Peer Support Coordinator, Registered Nurse, Social Support Coordinator, Peer workers, and a Harm Reduction Nurse.

As an organization we were aware that community health outreach is one of the most effective strategies to engage with people who live ‘outside’ of the system, who are marginalized, chronically poor, homeless or at risk of homelessness and who use substances.  Creating the ability to go out and meet people where they are at really decreases barriers faced in accessing services, and builds relationship of trust and respect that translates immediately into better whole health outcomes. The model of a mobile community health van just made sense for Sanguen and the work we wanted to accomplish, and so the long road to acquire community partners and funding began.  </p>\r\n\r\n<p>The Waterloo Region Community Health Van was launched in 2015, and services have grown through partnerships with the Region of Waterloo and the TELUS HEALTH FOR GOOD Program. The ‘Van’ services Kitchener and Cambridge and makes different stops throughout these cities.  Our interdisciplinary team staffs the Van, and connects community members with harm reduction supplies, such as new drug gear, needle exchange, condoms, etc; naloxone training and distribution; food, clothing, hygiene items, nursing, peer and social supports. </p>\r\n\r\n<p>The Community Health Van works in close collaboration and partnership with so many other excellent services, strengthening the services offered to our community members.  </p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<p> </p>\r\n[/av_textblock]\r\n\r\n[av_notification title=\'Nursing Care Announcement:\' icon_select=\'yes\' icon=\'ue80b\' font=\'entypo-fontello\' color=\'custom\' border=\'\' custom_bg=\'#5bc456\' custom_font=\'#ffffff\' size=\'large\' close_btn=\'\' cookie_lifetime=\'60\' av_uid=\'av-lh2bwxt2\' admin_preview_bg=\'\']\r\nThe Health Van is staffed by an interdisciplinary and multi-agency team made up of a Harm Reduction coordinator, Peer Support Coordinator, Registered Nurse, Social Support Coordinator, Peer workers, and a Harm Reduction Nurse.

As an organization we were aware that community health outreach is one of the most effective strategies to engage with people who live ‘outside’ of the system, who are marginalized, chronically poor, homeless or at risk of homelessness and who use substances.  Creating the ability to go out and meet people where they are at really decreases barriers faced in accessing services, and builds relationship of trust and respect that translates immediately into better whole health outcomes. The model of a mobile community health van just made sense for Sanguen and the work we wanted to accomplish, and so the long road to acquire community partners and funding began.  </p>\r\n\r\n<p>The Waterloo Region Community Health Van was launched in 2015, and services have grown through partnerships with the Region of Waterloo and the TELUS HEALTH FOR GOOD Program. The ‘Van’ services Kitchener and Cambridge and makes different stops throughout these cities.  Our interdisciplinary team staffs the Van, and connects community members with harm reduction supplies, such as new drug gear, needle exchange, condoms, etc; naloxone training and distribution; food, clothing, hygiene items, nursing, peer and social supports. </p>\r\n\r\n<p>The Community Health Van works in close collaboration and partnership with so many other excellent services, strengthening the services offered to our community members.  </p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<p> </p>\r\n[/av_textblock]\r\n\r\n[av_notification title=\'Nursing Care Announcement:\' icon_select=\'yes\' icon=\'ue80b\' font=\'entypo-fontello\' color=\'custom\' border=\'\' custom_bg=\'#5bc456\' custom_font=\'#ffffff\' size=\'large\' close_btn=\'\' cookie_lifetime=\'60\' av_uid=\'av-lh2bwxt2\' admin_preview_bg=\'\']\r\nThe Health Van is staffed by an interdisciplinary and multi-agency team made up of a Harm Reduction coordinator, Peer Support Coordinator, Registered Nurse, Social Support Coordinator, Peer workers, and a Harm Reduction Nurse.

She works hard to break down barriers that individuals experience in order to improve access to health care.\r\n\r\nKathy has been working to support the Mobile Health Bus and is expanding opportunities to connect with folks around testing and treatment for Hepatitis C.  \r\n\r\nWhen Kathy is not at work you will likely find her on the golf course or spending time with her family. \r\n\r\nPhone: 519-603-0223\r\nEmail: kmckenna@sanguen.com\' font_color=\'\' custom_title=\'\' custom_content=\'\' av_uid=\'av-jl14cydi\' admin_preview_bg=\'\'][/av_team_member]\r\n[/av_one_third]\r\n\r\n[av_one_third min_height=\'\' vertical_alignment=\'\' space=\'\' custom_margin=\'\' margin=\'0px\' link=\'\' linktarget=\'\' link_hover=\'\' padding=\'0px\' border=\'\' border_color=\'\' radius=\'0px\' background=\'bg_color\' background_color=\'\' background_gradient_color1=\'\' background_gradient_color2=\'\' background_gradient_direction=\'vertical\' src=\'\' background_position=\'top left\' background_repeat=\'no-repeat\' animation=\'\' mobile_breaking=\'\' mobile_display=\'\' av_uid=\'av-k2tu3\']\r\n\r\n[av_team_member name=\'Jenny Harris\' job=\'Registered Nurse<br> Kitchener\' src=\'https://2025.sanguen.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Jenny-Harris.jpg\' attachment=\'1937\' attachment_size=\'full\' image_width=\'\' description=\'Jenny Harris has been a registered nurse with the Consumption & Treatment Services (CTS) team since the Kitchener site first opened in 2019.\r\n\r\nRecognizing that the health care system can be challenging to navigate for people who use drugs - as a result of stigma - she practices from a harm reduction lens and strives to ensure that everyone who visits the CTS feels seen, heard, and cared-for as much as possible.  \r\n\r\nWhen she’s not working, Jenny spends her time hanging out with her family and cheering on the Jays. \' font_color=\'\' custom_title=\'\' custom_content=\'\' av_uid=\'av-jl14cydi\' admin_preview_bg=\'\'][/av_team_member]\r\n\r\n[/av_one_third][av_one_third first min_height=\'\' vertical_alignment=\'\' space=\'\' custom_margin=\'\' margin=\'0px\' link=\'\' linktarget=\'\' link_hover=\'\' padding=\'0px\' border=\'\' border_color=\'\' radius=\'0px\' background=\'bg_color\' background_color=\'\' background_gradient_color1=\'\' background_gradient_color2=\'\' background_gradient_direction=\'vertical\' src=\'\' background_position=\'top left\' background_repeat=\'no-repeat\' animation=\'\' mobile_breaking=\'\' mobile_display=\'\' av_uid=\'av-k2tu3\']\r\n[av_team_member name=\'Lachlyn Habermehl\' job=\'CTS Mobile Outreach Nurse<br> Guelph/Wellington & Waterloo Region\' src=\'https://2025.sanguen.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/LachlynHabermehl.jpg\' attachment=\'1567\' attachment_size=\'full\' image_width=\'\' description=\'Lachlyn started working for Sanguen’s CTS in January 2020.

She works hard to break down barriers that individuals experience in order to improve access to health care.\r\n\r\nKathy has been working to support the Mobile Health Bus and is expanding opportunities to connect with folks around testing and treatment for Hepatitis C.  \r\n\r\nWhen Kathy is not at work you will likely find her on the golf course or spending time with her family. \r\n\r\nPhone: 519-603-0223\r\nEmail: kmckenna@sanguen.com\' font_color=\'\' custom_title=\'\' custom_content=\'\' av_uid=\'av-jl14cydi\' admin_preview_bg=\'\'][/av_team_member]\r\n[/av_one_third]\r\n\r\n[av_one_third min_height=\'\' vertical_alignment=\'\' space=\'\' custom_margin=\'\' margin=\'0px\' link=\'\' linktarget=\'\' link_hover=\'\' padding=\'0px\' border=\'\' border_color=\'\' radius=\'0px\' background=\'bg_color\' background_color=\'\' background_gradient_color1=\'\' background_gradient_color2=\'\' background_gradient_direction=\'vertical\' src=\'\' background_position=\'top left\' background_repeat=\'no-repeat\' animation=\'\' mobile_breaking=\'\' mobile_display=\'\' av_uid=\'av-k2tu3\']\r\n[av_team_member name=\'Jenny Harris\' job=\'Registered Nurse<br> Kitchener\' src=\'https://2025.sanguen.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Jenny-Harris.jpg\' attachment=\'1937\' attachment_size=\'full\' image_width=\'\' description=\'Jenny Harris has been a registered nurse with the Consumption & Treatment Services (CTS) team since the Kitchener site first opened in 2019.\r\n\r\nRecognizing that the health care system can be challenging to navigate for people who use drugs - as a result of stigma - she practices from a harm reduction lens and strives to ensure that everyone who visits the CTS feels seen, heard, and cared-for as much as possible.  \r\n\r\nWhen she’s not working, Jenny spends her time hanging out with her family and cheering on the Jays.\r\n\r\nEmail: jennyh@sanguen.com \' font_color=\'\' custom_title=\'\' custom_content=\'\' av_uid=\'av-jl14cydi\' admin_preview_bg=\'\'][/av_team_member]\r\n[/av_one_third]\r\n\r\n[av_one_third first min_height=\'\' vertical_alignment=\'\' space=\'\' custom_margin=\'\' margin=\'0px\' link=\'\' linktarget=\'\' link_hover=\'\' padding=\'0px\' border=\'\' border_color=\'\' radius=\'0px\' background=\'bg_color\' background_color=\'\' background_gradient_color1=\'\' background_gradient_color2=\'\' background_gradient_direction=\'vertical\' src=\'\' background_position=\'top left\' background_repeat=\'no-repeat\' animation=\'\' mobile_breaking=\'\' mobile_display=\'\' av_uid=\'av-k2tu3\']\r\n[av_team_member name=\'Lachlyn Habermehl\' job=\'CTS Mobile Outreach Nurse<br> Guelph/Wellington & Waterloo Region\' src=\'https://2025.sanguen.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/LachlynHabermehl.jpg\' attachment=\'1567\' attachment_size=\'full\' image_width=\'\' description=\'Lachlyn started working for Sanguen’s CTS in January 2020.
