A commons, not a company
Most health problems start as navigation problems.
The Community Health Commons is a volunteer-run, open source project that helps Regina residents find the free health resources that already exist, understand how to use the system, and act on prevention before treatment is needed.
What you can do here
-
Find what already exists
An interactive map of free and low-barrier clinics, immunization sites, screening programs, and community health services in Regina. Every listing shows when it was last verified.
-
Learn prevention basics
Plain-language guides on nutrition, movement, sleep, screening, and more. Every guide cites Canadian public sources and shows exactly who reviewed it and when it expires.
-
Get help navigating
Trained volunteers help you understand referrals, prepare questions for appointments, and find the right service. Like a warm line, staffed in scheduled shifts.
-
See everything we do
Volunteer hours, cases resolved, events listed: all our activity is published as open data. When the numbers are zero, the dashboard says zero.
Built deliberately boring, on purpose
Health projects usually promise everything at once. This one launches with only what can be run safely by volunteers with no personal health information collected: a map, a library, and a navigation warm line. Clinical features come later, if ever, and only after province-specific legal review, insurance, and credential verification against professional college registries.
The whole project is open source and community-governed. Read how it works and who decides.
For healthcare professionals
The ask is small and bounded: a scheduled shift, a defined scope, a coordinator who handles logistics. No open-ended marketplace, no unbounded commitments. If you want to contribute to education, resource verification, or the navigation line, register your interest.
