Immunization

As a healthcare worker there is a risk of exposure to communicable diseases in the workplace and immunization helps protect your health and prevents disease transmission.

Respect At Work

Respect has long been a core value at PHC, as represented by the “R” in the SISTER values. We aspire to a respect culture, where all of us respect the diversity, dignity and interdependence of all persons.

To raise the bar on how well we live this value, PHC has expanded its services and resources. These services support our focus on a mentally healthy workplace and our ongoing strategy to foster communities where our people thrive.
