Finding Support in Your Community

Community Care Programmes

At NUHS, we are committed to supporting people with chronic conditions in the community. We aim to help residents live and stay well through our community care programmes. 

1. NUHS Community Health Posts (CHPs)  
   Community Health Posts (CHPs) are touch points within your neighbourhood where you can get easy access to health services near your home. 
   
   At the CHPs, the NUHS community care team offers residents in the western part of Singapore health-related counselling and education. If you have chronic conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol, we can support you in making healthier lifestyle choices so you can live better and stay healthy in the community.
