Radius Health

Radius Health Edmonton's only non-profit, community-owned and operated health centre since 1980. We deliver high-quality care to vulnerable Edmontonians.

Radius is Edmonton's only non-profit, community-owned and operated health centre. In 1980, we began with an initiative to provide care to vulnerable populations in some underserved communities in Edmonton. Now, we are a multi-dimensional service with an impact that radiates throughout downtown Edmonton and beyond. We treat all visitors with warmth and respect and turn nobody away. Through our team's passion, we deliver more care per square foot than any other organization in Alberta.

As the year comes to a close, many pause to reflect, reconnect, and look toward what lies ahead.

At Radius Community Health and Healing, this season reminds us why community matters, especially for those facing barriers to care, isolation, or uncertainty. While others gather, many of our clients are navigating complex realities that do not pause for the holidays.

That is why our teams continue to show up and why care, dignity, and compassion stay at the center of everything we do.

To our staff, donors, volunteers, and community members, thank you for standing with us. Your support helps ensure that healing remains accessible, not just during this season, but all year long.

PROGRAM SPOTLIGHT - PREGNANCY PATHWAYS

Every year in Edmonton, around 100 women experience pregnancy while navigating houselessness. Many also face mental health challenges, addiction, or fear of having their babies apprehended, all of which can make accessing health care difficult, inconsistent, or frightening.

Pregnancy Pathways exists to change that.
This program provides support to pregnant women who are homeless or facing unstable housing, ensuring that health care and social services are not out of reach during one of the most vulnerable times of life.

Why This Matters for Edmonton

Women who feel unsafe, judged, or unsupported may delay care until the moment of labor, resulting in higher medical risks, undernourished mothers, and newborns needing intensive care. When housing and health care are provided together, outcomes change for both mother and child.

Early childhood experiences have a profound impact on lifelong physical and mental health. The Pregnancy Pathways program doesn't just support pregnancy; it supports generational health.

At Radius Community Health and Healing, collaboration isn't an option; it's the foundation of how meaningful change happens.

Our Executive Director, Tricia Smith, has long championed the belief that no single organization can address the complex realities our community faces. Her leadership is rooted in partnership, listening deeply, and working alongside others to build systems of care that meet people where they are.
Every partner, every connection, and every shared vision strengthens the network of care our community relies on.

Standing with Edmonton Police Service and many other valued partners, Tricia reinforces a shared commitment to create a healthier, safer, and more connected Edmonton for everyone.

Harm reduction is health care. ⁠
It reduces the risks of substance use, prevents overdose deaths, and ensures people are met with dignity, no matter what stage of their journey they’reon.⁠

Harm reduction doesn’t require abstinence. ⁠
It doesn’t demand perfection. ⁠
It doesn’t judge. ⁠

Instead, it bridges the gaps left by systems that many Radius clients cannot safely or easily access, because of trauma, homelessness, stigma, illness, poverty, or criminalization. ⁠

At Radius, harm reduction includes: ⁠
• Supervised consumption ⁠
• Opioid agonist therapy ⁠
• Safer-use education ⁠
• Wound care ⁠
• Overdose prevention ⁠
• Compassionate conversation ⁠
• Pathways to treatment when someone is ready ⁠

Radius treats the whole person, not just symptoms.

We build relationships, not files.
We are judgment-free and culturally sensitive, and nobody is turned away.

Earlier this month we were grateful to welcome volunteers from the Assistant Deputy Minister’s Office; including Wanda Aubee, representing the Primary Care and Rural Health Division from the Ministry of Primary and Preventive Health Services.

They spent time in our office helping stuff envelopes for our Christmas fundraising campaign, a simple task, made powerful by the intention behind it.

Volunteer support matters. It bridges policy and practice, reminding us that meaningful systems change is built not only through strategy, but through shared action and human connection. When leaders and partners step into the day-to-day work alongside us, it strengthens trust, understanding, and collective impact.

Thank you for showing up, lending your time, and standing with our community. This is what collaboration looks like.

Not everyone in Edmonton can easily access healthcare.

Many face barriers that the system overlooks:
● Discrimination
● Poverty
● Homelessness or unstable housing
● Addictions
● Mental illness
● Low literacy or education levels
● Isolation and lack of support
● No Alberta Health Care Coverage
● Accessibility requirements
● Transportation challenges

These are not personal failures; they are systemic realities.
Radius Community Health and Healing ensures that the invisible become visible by providing crucial primary health services embedded with mental health care, addiction support, social navigation, and cultural sensitivity, so people do not have to fight for care while fighting for survival.

What if a visit to the doctor could lead to housing?
Or ID recovery?
Or addiction support?
Or a pathway to employment?

At Radius Community Health and Healing it can, because we embed social services within primary care, creating a model that acknowledges the realities of life outside the appointment room.
This is not traditional primary care.
This is care that responds to reality.
Radius is not just helping people; we are reimagining what equitable community health can look like.
Your support makes a difference.
