If funded by the Ministry of Health, Phase 2 of the Northway Wellness Centre would bring mental health and addictions services that already exist in the city under one roof

Phase 1 was recently completed and opened in the former Sault Star site at a cost of about $20 million. The hospital’s residential withdrawal management and safe beds from its main site was relocated into an approximate 16,000 square foot portion of the building. If a separate funding request is also granted, the hospital's Concurrent Disorders Intensive Day Treatment could also one day be offered from the Northway Wellness Centre.
“Really, they could be walked from one side of the building to the other and get that immediate support or assessment from our care team,” she said. Sault MPP Ross Romano told SooToday it was not unexpected to see plans for Phase 2 submitted to the ministry, even if it came a little sooner than expected.
