Construction is set to start on a new community health care centre in Stephenville.

Newfoundland and Labrador Health Services has awarded a contract valued at approximately $2 million per year to GDR Enterprises Limited to lease space for 20 years at a new 41,140 square-feet facility, to be constructed at the corner of Connecticut Drive and Minnesota Avenue, near the Sir Thomas Roddick Hospital.

The new facility will house the Stephenville/Bay St. George Family Care Team, Mental health and addictions services, the Flexible Assertive Community Treatment team, community support program offering services to seniors and individuals with physical and intellectual disabilities, developmental health services and public health.

The Family Care Team’s leased space will include clinics, exam rooms, procedure and treatment rooms, medication rooms, telehealth, counselling and interview rooms, meeting rooms, offices and reception areas.

The Department of Health and Community Services and NL Health Services anticipate construction on the new facility to be completed in late 2024.
