About Peace River Center

Peace River Center was founded in the late 1940s in response to the community's concern for the emotional and psychological well-being of children. Over time, the non-profit organization gradually expanded its services to include adults. In the late 1970s, Peace River Center opened the first of two domestic violence shelters, and in 2013 we added a primary care Wellness Clinic. Our services are person-centered, trauma-informed, evidence-based, and culturally responsive. Our commitment to the well-being of our patients extends beyond the services we provide directly. We work in collaboration with other healthcare providers in each community to ensure patients’ total healthcare needs are met.

Peace River Center's mission is to engage, restore, and empower individuals in our community to reach their fullest potential. The vision of Peace River Center is to be a center of excellence for building emotional wellness.
