population from all corners of the world and from all walks of life.

Our largest ethnic minority groups come from the Caribbean, the Asian 
subcontinent and Somalia.

We serve patients who may be homeless, struggling with alcohol or 
drugs, and seeking help to begin piecing life together; at the other end 
of the spectrum we serve patients who are settled, doing well in life, and 
who seek help to ensure they remain in the very best of health.
