SKH’s Healthier SG Team

SKH’s Healthier SG (HSG) Team aims to support residents by managing their chronic disease and staying well in the community through the provision of nursing and health services in the neighbourhood. The team consists of nursing leaders, senior staff nurses, wellbeing coordinators (WBCs) and patient service associates (PSAs) to support the community work that serves residents from cradle to grave, and work closely with other stakeholders - community partners and primary care providers to meet the health needs for residents.

Our Community Health Posts

SKH has launched our Community Health Posts (CHP) in the Northeast region of Singapore since 2020 and mainly serves two precincts: Sengkang and Punggol, which are further divided into 12 subzones (Rivervale, Compassvale, Sengkang Town Center, Fernvale, Anchorvale, Seletar, Sengkang West, Matilda, Waterway East, Punggol Town Center, Northshore and Punggol Field).

Our community nurses and WBCs provide consultation and services through either the Community Health Posts (refer to map below), or Home Visits for residents who are homebound. As we improve with digitalisation, we have also embarked on video-consultations as alternative mode of care delivery with the support of SKH volunteers. This allows the continuity of care for residents, at their preferred place and time of convenience.

Our Services and Who We Serve

Our HSG Team looks after the community health needs of all residents (Singapore citizens or permanent residents) living in Sengkang and Punggol.

Whether you require some health advice and / or coaching to stay well, or have multiple chronic diseases (e.g. high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol, diabetes, chronic heart failure, chronic lung diseases or stroke) and need help to manage your medical conditions, our team is there to support you on your health journey.

Apart from the above services, the team also provides regular health talks at the collaborating Active Aging Centers, Community Club and Residential Networks.
