Group Health Centre Connects 10,000 Patients to Primary Care
The Group Health Centre says it's making significant progress expanding access to primary care in Sault Ste. Marie, with 10,000 patients now connected to a family doctor or nurse practitioner.
The organization expects another 6,000 patients to be connected by March 2027, as it continues recruiting physicians, expanding its nurse practitioner workforce and strengthening its team-based approach to health care.
GHC has also expanded specialty services this year, including ear, nose and throat care, palliative care, pediatrics and endocrinology. Officials say bringing more services together locally can reduce the need for patients to travel outside the region for treatment.
The organization is also exploring options to modernize its aging facility, with a vision of bringing more health-care teams and services together under one roof.
