RPHCA is also an important voice of the local community providing an integral piece in the overall development of programs and activities offered at the centre. Additionally, as advocates within the community, Hillcrest Centre welcomes the opportunity to connect with other local members and organizations through the RPHCA, which ensures we remain relevant to the wider community needs.
