We were thrilled that our communities came forward to raise $1 million to help build the SWC - it was a clear signal to all 3 levels of government that we are all serious about the need for more wellness services in our area.

Construction on the SWC has begun (so exciting!) and we continue to raise funds for the furniture and equipment needed to offer the programs and services to the community. 

By providing space for more primary care physicians and nurse practitioners, much needed after-hours care, mental health supports, blood lab, dental services, home and community care services, pre & post-operative care, chiropractic and physiotherapy services, the needs of people in this area will be better served and will help to alleviate the strain on current health care services offered in Lindsay and Minden. The number of people in this area without a local family doctor is significantly higher than the provincial average, and these residents must drive a minimum of 30 minutes to the nearest hospital and/or after-hours care clinic.
