About TAIBU Community Health Centre

TAIBU Community Health Centre (CHC) is a multidisciplinary, non-for-profit, community led organization established to serve Black Communities across the GTA as its priority population. TAIBU is in the Malvern neighborhood of Scarborough, Ontario. TAIBU is a Kiswahili word used by well-wishers as a greeting that means, “Be in Good Health”.

Vision

Achieving and maintaining health through community development, knowledge exchange, empowerment and the elimination of racism and other forms of prejudice and discrimination in health care.

Mission
