TRENTON — The Ontario government is expanding services at the new Belleville and Quinte West Community Health Centre to help more people in the Bay of Quinte region connect to high quality and convenient care, closer to home.
“Our government is continuing to make record investments to ensure that no matter where you live, you can connect to the care they need, when they need it,” said Sylvia Jones, Deputy Premier and Minister of Health. “This investment will expand services offered by the community health hub and is just one of the many steps our government is taking to connect families in the Bay of Quinte region to the care they need, in their own community, now and for years to come.”
With the province support, the second phase of the Trenton Satellite Project will expand the Quinte West Community Health Centre and allow it to provide more services to people and their families, including allied health services, immunization services, health education, mental health and addictions support and home and community care.
“Co-locating health-care providers centrally at the Belleville Quinte West Community Health Centre’s hub in Trenton ensures more convenient access to care for Quinte West residents and it allows more patient-centered collaboration among those providers,” said Todd Smith, MPP for Bay of Quinte. “Coupled with our recent investments in Trenton Memorial Hospital next door, our government is delivering the expanded capacity this community needs.”
Local community-based partners, including the Victorian Order of Nurses and the Hastings and Prince Edward County Health Unit, will be located on-site, ensuring a more convenient and connected continuum of care that meets patients’ evolving needs. Through Your Health: A Plan for Connected and Convenient Care, the Ontario government is expanding access to key services in communities across the province to provide people of all ages with the right care, in the right place, closer to home.
