Renovations are set to get underway at Open Health Niverville, the medical clinic located on the Heritage Centre campus.
The expansion project is expected to add more clinical rooms, which in turn will allow the facility to take on more doctors. Once complete, the clinic will boast 15 exam rooms, a lab, and a minor procedures room.
“This expansion is just one more step in the direction of fulfilling Open Health Niverville’s vision to be a regional hub in providing timely and effective health care services,” says Nathan Dueck, town councillor and president of Niverville Health Care Services Inc. (NHCSI). “More and more residents of Niverville are seeing the benefit of receiving healthcare right in their own community, and this is creating the welcomed need to expand our facility and bring more doctors on staff.”
Twelve physicians currently share the space at Open Health, up from the two physicians and one physician assistant who worked from the clinic when the Town of Niverville took over ownership in 2020.
According to Dueck, two guest suites in the Heritage Centre were recently closed, providing the additional space needed for the expansion.
