First announced in early October 2021, the new $7.6 million centre will not replace the existing Western Hospital. Instead, the hope is for both facilities to complement each other's services. The centre, which is still recruiting to meet its full complement of staff, has space for a total of six nurse practitioners and physicians. As of the grand opening, Hudson was one of three physicians currently working out of the space, alongside a nurse practitioner.
“Access to all the health care services in one building is a big plus. A modern facility, bright lights, you can see the hallways are larger, we’ll have all the latest equipment they need,” said McLane. The new space is"phenomenal," said Mayor Brian Poirier, adding that he hopes it will help ease some stress on Western Hospital.
Eva Rodgerson and Dave Pizio, chairs of the O’Leary Community Health Foundation and Western Hospital Foundation, respectively, attended the grand opening and were impressed with what they saw.
