CLSC

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

CLSCs (centre local de services communautaires, local community service centre) in Quebec are free clinics which are run and maintained by the provincial government. The service was launched in the early 1970's after major reforms were made in the health and social services system were made following the Castonguay-Nepveu Commission during the Quiet Revolution era in the 1960's. Prior to the commission, health and social services were generally under jurisdiction of the Church. Following the Commission, the Quebec government, with several mesuares made by the Quebec Liberal Party of Jean Lesage fully took control of the health and social services jurisdiction and later was created the CLSC network. The province would also give access to a wide variety of services for free for most citizens.

The network offers a wide variety of services including psychological and health services. There are 147 CLSCs spread throughout the province. In Montreal and in the Outaouais, the health services are provided by the Centre de santé et de services sociaux (CSSS).
