Our Philosophy

At Hillcrest Centre for Health, we believe in looking at the whole picture when approacting health. This means  not just looking at supporting the whole individual (Mind & Body) but also supporting :
Picture
healthy relationships
Picture
healthy communities
Picture
healthy environment

Our Mandate

  •  To create and foster a sense of community in Hillcrest Village.
We believe that healthy communities are a contributing factor to healthy individuals. Through the implementation of our information centre we strive to become a place where residents can drop by and check the bulletin board for local events, pick up a local paper, drop by to ask a question or even just to say hello.

  • To provide professional advice and education on health and on natural health products.
With new health products hitting the market every day it is easy for consumers to get overwhelmed. Our naturopaths have carefully selected our supplement lines keeping in mind environmental considerations, quality, efficacy and cost. Our goal is to support the consumer in making an informed decision in all aspects relating to health.
​
  • To provide a comprehensive approach to health, customized according to individual needs. 
We don't agree with a cookie-cutter approach to health, we believe that to achieve the best results recommendations must be tailored to the individual! At the Hillcrest Centre for Health we ensure that all treatments are customized to the needs of each individual patient.

Our  environmental commitment


​
In an effort to leave as small a footprint as we could in the creation and daily running of the Centre, we took the following measures:
​
1. 
Salvaged vintage wood flooring from a demolition home in Forest Hill was used as much as possible.

2. 
Buying recycled and repurposed items and furniture for the clinic from our local antique vendors on St. Clair W,  Reza & Mr.Ji (RIP).

3. 
Using mistinted paints and recycled paints & materials while supporting Habitat For Humanity ReStores.

4. Buying bamboo flooring which is a sustainable source at flooring surplus auctions.

5. Buying items from local merchants to support the local economy as well as reducing gas usage.

6. Using recycled & FSC certified and sometimes even sugar cane based paper materials.

7. Recycling & composting to divert our waste from landfills.

8. Analyzing and adapting our energy & water usage to minimize our impact.

9. Using loose leaf teas as opposed to synthetic tea bags, wood stir sticks instead of plastic and reusable cups instead of disposable.

10. 
Sourcing from vendors/suppliers that are local (as much as possible) and have environmentally sustainable products and philosophies.

11. Using reusable linens and washing with Nellies Laundry soap ( as opposed to disposable linens )

12. Using natural cleaning products such as vinegar, tea tree, thyme and baking soda.

13. Using natural soaps and lotions to reduce chemical run off into our waste water.
​​
14. We buy  gently used second hand furniture and decor whenever possible in order to divert waste from landfills.
