Peachland Wellness Centre

The Peachland Wellness Centre (PWC) started with a Task Force comprised of three individuals: Phyllis Papineau, Chris Scowen, and Doug Armitage, along with a $4,000 grant from the Community Health Advisory Committee in early February, 2001 for the development of a Health Resource Centre (HRC) in Peachland. The District of Peachland graciously provided the location, an older house in the central downtown area, providing the feeling of stepping into a comfortable and welcoming home. Fund raising, donations from local service clubs, volunteer support, and the creation of a Board of Directors all took place prior to the official opening of the Peachland Wellness Centre on November 21, 2001. This grassroots non-profit organization has grown over the years, with its strong group of volunteers, staff, Board of Directors, and community partners, and its focus on enabling people in our community to enhance their quality of life.​

The Peachland Wellness Centre provides a number of programs to participants with a variety of social, physical, emotional and personal wellness activities. While there is no fee for any program, the PWC gratefully accepts donations. ​We are grateful for the incredible Volunteer Facilitators who give their time and talent to create and lead our Programs. PWC provides the opportunity for like-minded and like-spirited individuals to connect while learning about useful wellness resources to live healthier and happier lives. The Peachland Wellness Centre (PWC) helps those in need in our community to live safely and independently by providing essential, non-medical support services. Potential participants for services are based on individual needs. Our support services are not designed to replace any medical or health professional services.
