During this time, Dr. Steingart began seeing more HIV and Hepatitis C patients. Seeing the need for more specialized care for the complex medical and psycho-social needs of his patients, Dr. Steingart decided to leave the hospital setting and in 2007, Dr. Steingart created the province’s first charitable Hepatitis C service organization, Sanguen Health Centre. With a dedicated team of nurses, social support workers, outreach workers, and peer support workers, Dr. Steingart sees the region’s most marginalized patients offering expert medical, social, and psychological support.\' 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=\'Michelle Steingart\' job=\'Administrator and Clinical Program Coordinator\' src=\'https://2025.sanguen.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Michelle-Steinhart.jpg\' attachment=\'583\' attachment_size=\'full\' image_width=\'\' description=\'Michelle Steingart is Sanguen’s Administrator and Clinical Program Coordinator.

With a dedicated team of nurses, social support workers, outreach workers, and peer support workers, Dr. Steingart sees the region’s most marginalized patients offering expert medical, social, and psychological support.\' 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=\'Michelle Steingart\' job=\'Administrator and Clinical Program Coordinator\' src=\'https://2025.sanguen.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Michelle-Steinhart.jpg\' attachment=\'583\' attachment_size=\'full\' image_width=\'\' description=\'Michelle Steingart is Sanguen’s Administrator and Clinical Program Coordinator.

He is passionate about outreach and meeting individuals where they are and supporting them in achieving their goals -whatever those goals may look like.\r\n\r\nRene uses an anti-oppressive framework when working with folks to create an inclusive and safe space for all individuals.

During this time, Dr. Steingart began seeing more HIV and Hepatitis C patients. Seeing the need for more specialized care for the complex medical and psycho-social needs of his patients, Dr. Steingart decided to leave the hospital setting and in 2007, Dr. Steingart created the province’s first charitable Hepatitis C service organization, Sanguen Health Centre. With a dedicated team of nurses, social support workers, outreach workers, and peer support workers, Dr. Steingart sees the region’s most marginalized patients offering expert medical, social, and psychological support.\' 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=\'Michelle Steingart\' job=\'Administrator and Clinical Program Coordinator\' src=\'https://2025.sanguen.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Michelle-Steinhart.jpg\' attachment=\'583\' attachment_size=\'full\' image_width=\'\' description=\'Michelle Steingart is Sanguen’s Administrator and Clinical Program Coordinator.

He is passionate about outreach and meeting individuals where they are and supporting them in achieving their goals -whatever those goals may look like.\r\n\r\nRene uses an anti-oppressive framework when working with folks to create an inclusive and safe space for all individuals. He believes every individual has the right to dignity and respect. Rene is excited to learn from individuals in the community; and to help serve barrier free services to those who otherwise would not have access to them.\' 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-suz0b\']\r\n\r\n[av_team_member name=\'Dr. Chris Steingart\' job=\'Founder and Executive Director\' src=\'https://2025.sanguen.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Dr-Chris-Steinhart.jpg\' attachment=\'587\' attachment_size=\'full\' image_width=\'\' description=\'Chris Steingart is the Founder and Executive Director of Sanguen Health Centre.\r\n\r\nDr. Chris Steingart trained at the University of Calgary where he received certification in Internal Medicine in 1995.

During this time, Dr. Steingart began seeing more HIV and Hepatitis C patients. Seeing the need for more specialized care for the complex medical and psycho-social needs of his patients, Dr. Steingart decided to leave the hospital setting and in 2007, Dr. Steingart created the province’s first charitable Hepatitis C service organization, Sanguen Health Centre.
