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:
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
pco@nhg.com.sg.
UP Series
Our UP Series of programmes offers residents the opportunity to take action and experience activities that promote health and wellbeing. Some examples include healthier eating, singing for lung health, and dances for better posture and stability.
