What Makes Us Unique

Jeffery Hale Community Partners (JH Partners) is dedicated to serving the English-speaking population of Greater Québec City through supportive teamwork, creativity, and agility. We advocate for a locally responsive health and social services system, filling gaps and ensuring decision-makers prioritize the community’s needs. JH Partners provides many services in English while working to influence local organizations to offer linguistically-adapted, accessible services.

Collaboration is at the heart of our work, as demonstrated by our community-based board of directors at Jeffery Hale, managed in partnership with Jeffery Hale – Saint Brigid’s (JHSB) and Voice of English-speaking Quebec (VEQ). We engage with all levels of government and leaders to advocate for the community, continuously monitoring and sharing insights on its health needs and challenges.

How We Are Governed

Funded in large part by its four member organizations, in addition to being a registered charity, JH Partners is an autonomous community organization. Its members are community institutions, organizations or foundations that have each made an ongoing commitment of financial support. Each of these member organizations is represented on JH Partners’ Board of Directors by a delegate.

Who We Work With

One of the principal cornerstones of our success is the effective and lasting partnership between JH Partners and JHSB, the public sector health institution recognized as having a designated responsibility to serve our region’s English-speaking population. Together, JH Partners and JHSB have built and continue to develop a significant complementary service offer to meet the health and social services needs of our minority population. This close partnership unites the strengths and resources of the community and public sector. It is also a testament to the English-speaking community’s strong tradition of direct involvement when it comes to meeting the needs of its members.

We also work very closely with Voice of English-speaking Quebec, a legally incorporated, non-profit community organization promoting the interests of a vital and cohesive English-speaking community. VEQ provides a variety of community programs and services directly to the English-speaking population.

The Jeffery Hale Pavilion is a consortium of community organizations formalized by an agreement signed by each of these three pillar organizations. The innovative collaboration that is the Jeffery Hale Pavilion is a true partnership, pooling resources to identify needs, then coordinate and deliver mutually-agreed-upon activities and services, as well as to provide staff and funding, all for one common goal: A healthy English-speaking community whose more vulnerable members receive the support they need.

JH Partners pursues yet another goal through the Jeffery Hale Pavilion: To promote a sense of community belonging and support through social solidarity and networking with fellow English speakers. Our scope of activities reaches beyond the Jeffery Hale Pavilion to serve the English-speaking community directly. We often lend our community development expertise to other local entities to support—and not replace—the formal and informal care systems already established.

We are fortunate to be able to count on the support of some key foundations from within our community. In addition to providing the nucleus of our funding, these valued partners help us to continue to develop new community and service initiatives.

As a driving force behind the Community of Care, it is obvious that partnership and collaboration are at the heart of JH Partners’ values of human connection, integrity, inclusion and caring. If we can claim success in carrying out our work, it is thanks to the invaluable support of not only JHSB and our community’s foundations, over 200 individual donors, as well as several organizations, including the following:
