Beginning in April 2023, SJCCC is undergoing a construction project to help enhance the current rehabilitation program to prepare itself for the needs ahead. A 2400 sq ft, state-of-the-art physical therapy space will be built to help bring people together safely. This space will also be a hub for motivation, where patients can interact with one another to encourage and inspire each other as they strengthen and prepare for their return home and to the community.

This new space will allow registered staff and rehabilitation assistants to provide a different kind of programming to better see more patients at once, helping foster a concept of togetherness, in an immersive environment. This will help reduce the strain on staff and allow them to work as a cohesive team helping build on each other's strengths. With 58 patients enrolled in the program each day, this space will allow our registered therapists to provide safe programming in the event of an outbreak.

With the availability of this new space, SJCCC will better be able to improve the current rehabilitation spaces around Hotel Dieu Hospital allowing patients to circulate through and use the Hospital to its full potential. The goal is to make this the most calming, motivating and encouraging experience possible while elevating the patient's confidence to its maximum potential.

In order to make this space possible, SJCCC has partnered with the RHSJ Health Centre of Cornwall Fund to launch Stronger Together, a fundraising campaign to raise $680,000. Through partnerships, community events, and local support, the hope is to complete this campaign in 2025. The new space is set to be up and running by early 2024.
