PHS health care is available to residents of the greater Downtown Eastside. We offer comprehensive primary care clinics, dental services, mental health and addiction treatment services.

PHS community projects provide flexible, relevant and effective programming that meet immediate needs of the DTES population. PHS works with Indigenous harm reduction leaders in a movement called Culture Saves Lives to address the needs for cultural and spiritual care, reconnecting or helping people to connect for the first time to traditional, spiritual and cultural practices.

Unfortunately had a night mare experience with the small amount of communication I had with PHS. I applied for a job, got the screening call, got an interview scheduled, then received a second screening call after getting my interview which was already done weeks prior. My interview was canceled 2 hours before due to my " lack of qualifications" later to find out the interviewer actually had a medical emergency procedure AND they LOST my application so booted me out rather then calling me to sort it out. It only got worse from here. I am so grateful I did not end up working for this incredibly

One of the best non profit grass roots organizations out there. They love the people they take care of, and they advocate for better overall living for the common person, no matter where they are from or who they are. PHS fights for homlessess and for better safer drug supply and harm reduction.
One of the greatest place i had the privilege and the honor to work for.
