A community hub makes it easier for people to access the health, social, cultural, recreational, and other resources they need together in one spot. In 1978, Langs' founders envisioned Langs as a place where partners worked together to bring health and social services under one roof. The hub model evolved over several years beginning in 2011 when Langs moved into the HUB@1145, what is now known provincially as a ‘Community Hub’. Langs’ North Dumfries Community Health Centre satellite site is also a Community Hub, known as the HUB@2958.
The Community Hub Model improves community engagement, bringing diverse organizations together under one roof to collaborate and amplify their impact. By centralizing services and resources, it streamlines access for individuals and fosters cross-sector partnerships that drive positive change. This innovative approach creates a vibrant space where organizations can collaborate effectively, tackle challenges, and empower communities to thrive. In essence, the Community Hub Model exemplifies the power of collaboration and creates stronger, more resilient communities.
