Our Communities of Care

Yishun Health is committed to building of Communities of Care (CoC) with you, our community partners and resident groups. CoC is a network of partners working together to enable community-based care and meet the needs of our residents.

We offer a variety of resources, activities and services based in the community to support residents in managing their health. These are some examples:

A community nurse measures the blood pressure of a resident. The community nurse is wearing the KTPH corporate T-shirt.
A group of about 30 residents doing aerobics in a circle.

Regional Teams

Yishun Health's Regional Teams cover 6 regions in Yishun and Sembawang. Our teams of nurses and connectors provide residents with the skills, tools and links to self-manage and render mutual help to each other in:

  • Checking blood pressure, blood sugar, height & weight
  • Learning about healthy lifestyle choices
  • Building a personalised care and support plan, and signposting to community support to live well with their long-term conditions
  • Addressing questions on medications, risk of falls, memory loss, community resources and programmes

At our Community Health Posts, residents can walk in to meet our Regional Teams, and access the support we offer. These Community Health Posts are located in neighbourhood spaces at Yishun and Sembawang.

Community Health Screening

We organise community health screening at community spaces such as marketplaces, to allow more convenient access to subsidised screenings.

To facilitate clinical follow-up for individuals at risk, we partner primary care practitioner(s) in the area to provide post-screening consultation for residents.

If you would like to find out more and/or partner us for upcoming screening events/ initiatives, please contact us at partners@ktph.com.sg.
