New Health Centre Opens in Courtice by Jennifer Stone Staff Writer A large, bright, and modern modern health care facility officially officially opened its doors iti Clarington Wednesday. The Courtice Health Centre, located on Highway 2 and Varcoc Road in Courtice, offers a "complete range of primary health care and diagnostic diagnostic services," says Harry Horricks, Osliawa Clinic CEO. ' , The Centre is owned by the same medical group as the Osliawa Clinic. Osliawa Clinic Medical Director, Dr. T.C. Monchcsky, says the group considered moving to Courtice in the mid-1980s, but soaring land prices at the lime changed their minds. But by 1997, "we realized (Courtice) was an area for growth." The medical group purchased four acres, and by April of this year, the new" Clinic was up and running, • Two acres of the four acre parcel have been taken over by White ClilTe Terrace, Courtice's first full service retirement residence. The residence residence features studio apart-, ments, as well as onc and two bedroom suites.' Spade' is' available for both independ- . cut and assisted living. The residence is scheduled to open by mid-August. The Courtice Health Centre will eventually be home to 16 family doctors, as well as a full range of diagnostic diagnostic services, including x- ray, ultra-sound, EKG and a lab. An urgent care walk-in medical clinic opened in April, and Horricks says it's already becoming wcll-i known in the area. "A week ago Monday, they saw 105 patients," says Horricks.' "The urgent care clinic actually saves the health care system a great deal of money." The three-storey, 40,000 square foot facility also provides provides a full-service pharmacy, !a large dental clinic, an optometry clinic, a gift store, and a coffee and lunch shop. As well, it will be the new home for the community respiratory respiratory program of the Lakcridge Health Corporation. Management of the site also hope to have a physiotherapy physiotherapy and rehabilitation clinic up and running in the building within the next six to eight months. . Horricks says the,,best part of the new jsite is the wcll- • trained staff. ' ■ - X L "A good medical clinic is ' certainly only as good as the people working in it," he says.
