Organization Summary

The Peterborough 360 Degree Nurse Practitioner Led Clinic (NPLC) opened in late 2011. It arose from a grassroots, collaborative community effort to create an accessible, welcoming primary care clinic. The 360 NPLC provides accessible care for individuals and families in Peterborough. The 360 Clinic has an interdisciplinary team with expertise in providing primary care to people with health risks. These include poverty, homelessness, food insecurity, violence, trauma, serious mental health issues and social isolation.

Key Activities
Located downtown, we have expertise in the provision of care to those whose health is made vulnerable by poverty, homelessness, and poor access to the social determinants of health. We operate from a harm-reduction philosophy. As such, we commit to working within an anti-oppression and anti-racist philosophical framework that is trauma-informed and which values cultural humility and inclusiveness. Our Vision: Our vision is to provide collaborative and accessible primary health care for all. What We Do We are a dynamic, community-based interdisciplinary primary health care clinic that strives to meet the needs of individuals and groups by providing primary health care that is equitable, person-centred, and widely accessible. Directors serve in a meaningful way to support the NPLC’s strategic mission, vision, and goals, and by so doing provide a united leadership profile to the community. They serve as ambassadors for the clinic’s work and provide their expertise, experiences, and networks to maximize the positive profile of the organization.
