Health, Solidarity and Gentrification in Montreals Pointe-Saint-Charles Neighbourhood
In 1968, a student-led initiative to bring improved medical services to Montreal\u2019s working-class Point-Saint-Charles neighbourhood began. In collaboration with local residents, students from McGill University\u2019s medicine, nursing and sociology programs established a new kind of community-based clinic connecting health and social problems with root causes.
In this special report, Ricochet\u2019s Yasmin Hotter Ishay speaks with Genevi\xe8ve Lambert Pilotte and Dr. Anna Kruzynski to explore the historical links between health, solidarity and gentrification at the Community Clinic of Point-Saint-Charles.
