The Ottawa Valley Family Health Team is expanding to service Carleton Place and Beckwith, through a new hub facility to be located on Costello Drive in Carleton Place.
Peter Hamer is Executive Director of the OVFHT. He says the project has been in the works for awhile now.
The OVFHT Executive Director says a nucleus of cooperation is guiding the initiative forward.
Hamer says now that the Ontario Ministry of Health has funded the project he expects things to move quickly.
He indicates the Carleton Place Health Hub will aid efforts to attract new physicians to the community.
The OVFHT Executive Director says the local hub will operate from a Costello Drive site.
Tomorrow, we continue our conversation.
