On Thursday, Sept. 17, I had the pleasure of participating in the official grand opening of the Sturgeon Medical Centre, strategically located within walking distance, just west of the Sturgeon Community Hospital, as well as easy access from the St. Albert Trail and Boudreau Road.
This new health care facility was a result of the commitment by Northwest Health Care Properties to take the initiative to invest their time, effort and financial resources to enhance health care services for the benefit of the community. Northwest is recognized as an expert in providing and administering medical facilities, so St. Albert is very fortunate that they recognized the need for this attractive state-of-the-art medical facility to attract physicians and complementary medical services that are in high demand.
Included as tenants, in addition to a physicians walk-in clinic, are a pharmacy, Kepler child care, women’s health centre, physiotherapist, hearing aid centre, medical imaging consultants and Perks coffee shop, to name a few services.
Having this new and modern medical centre is an asset to St. Albert as it has also brought multiple new small businesses and employers, so “thank you” Northwest Health Care Properties for coming to our fine city, and “welcome”.
