CPHC & Community Partners' Centre of Excellence
CPHC and Community Partners' are building a Health and Wellness
Centre of Excellence for residents of all ages.

This Centre, to be located in Brockville, will be built in two phases. The Centre will serve residents of Brockville, Leeds & Grenville and those visiting Brockville or willing to travel to Brockville will be welcome. Construction completion date is March 15, 2011.

The Centre will ensure improved accessibility for multiple services; the building will adhere to all requirements for those who have disabilities/challenges of any sort. Barriers will be reduced as construction will adhere to all codes in relation to disabilities; there will be ample parking. The project will bring Health, Community & Social Services as well as other complementary services together in one building. Currently services are scattered across many sites making it difficult for residents to access in a timely manner. Residents will have the opportunity to participate in, and continue to contribute to their community. Optimal health and wellness ensures residents can continue to contribute economically.

PHASE I ($9.4 MILLION): Project commencing Fall of 2009 will include the following:

• CPHC Brockville Community Family Health Team currently has 3 sites in Brockville. This team, providing interdisciplinary access to primary health care through Doctors, Nurse Practitioners, Registered Nurses, Social Workers, Dietitians will relocate to the Centre in Phase I. Arthritic Clinics (with physiotherapists) and over 20 Wellness Clinics (inclusive of Chronic Disease Management services) will also be offered through the Centre. - Capital dollars approved by the Ministry of Health & Long Term Care.
