CPHC & Community Partners - Centre of Excellence
CPHC and Community Partners will build a Health and Wellness
Centre of Excellence for residents of all ages.

This Centre will be built on Parkedale Avenue in Brockville and will serve residents of Brockville, Leeds and Grenville and those visiting Brockville or willing to travel to Brockville. The date for completion is December 2012.

The Centre will improve accessibility with ample parking; barriers will be reduced as construction will adhere to all codes in relation to disabilities. The project will bring Health, Community, Social and other complementary services together. Currently, local CPHC services are across seven (7) Brockville sites, making it difficult for residents to access in a timely manner. These seven (7) sites plus up to four (4) other community agencies will transfer to the new site. Residents will have the opportunity to participate in and continue to contribute to their community; enjoying optimal health and wellness, thus ensuring an enhanced quality of life.
