Expanded Medical Clinic to Open in Niverville

Share:

With the completion this spring of the new Heritage Life Retirement Living life lease condos at the Niverville Heritage Centre, the onsite medical clinic is set for a significant expansion. The new 5,000-square-foot facility, called Open Health Niverville, will be located on the ground floor and open its doors in May.

“We seek to create an environment that offers appropriate care, locally, timely and convenient, open to all regardless of race, religion, social standing, or sexual orientation. [The name] Open Health expresses our desire,” says Dr. Chris Burnett, who operates the medical clinic alongside his wife Dr. Mairi Burnett.

The updated clinic will provide easy, single-entry access to all of the community’s medical services, including primary healthcare, lab services, a chronic disease team, public health, a Family First program, and mental health services.

“People can come in through the door, go to a single reception, and depending on what the need is, they then see the best clinician for them.” Burnett clarified that the word clinician includes physicians, nurse practitioners, primary care nurses, and physician assistants.
