Saint Andrews Wellness Centre expansion enhances access to care
Recently completed renovations at the Saint Andrews Wellness Centre created space for more health professionals and expanded services in the region.
The project included $1.7 million in provincial funding to support the expansion and recruitment of additional health care providers.
The impact is already evident with a blood and specimen collection clinic opening at the centre in May – the first time this service has been offered in Saint Andrews. Three new physicians will join the team in September, helping attach more patients to primary care and maintain access to care close to home.
Community Health Needs Assessment underway in Fundy and Kings region
The centre serves about 3,000 patients and continues accepting new patients through the provincial registry.
If you live in the Fundy and Kings region and surrounding communities, we want to hear from you.
