City of Kawartha Lakes has inched closer to the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care's recommended number more...
The Community Health Centre (CHC) for the City of Kawartha Lakes continues to move forward towards becoming a reality. more...
The City of Kawartha Lakes Community Health Centre will provide primary health care services through the collaboration of physicians and nurse practitioners. Each professional strives to promote client health through health promotion, disease prevention and education while supporting the clients’ current health care needs
In addition to the primary care services to be made available at the CHC, plans call for allied health providers, including a registered dietician, social worker, physiotherapist and health promoter. These services will be available to all members of the public and are not restricted to those people who will be using the primary care services at the CHC. This will provide an excellent opportunity to reach out to those residents who due to extensive wait times and lack of services in the area, have not been able to obtain such help in the past. As the CHC continues to assess the needs of the client population served, new programs and services will be developed. Assessments have already identified the need for diabetic health teaching, foot care clinics, and additional mental health services in the municipality.
Plans are also underway for a mobile unit which will allow access to CHC programs and services for residents who may not have the ability to get to the main site in Lindsay. Programs such as blood pressure clinics, foot care services and education sessions will be among the services provided by the future mobile unit, which will make scheduled visits to outlying areas throughout the City.
