Ground broken on new community health centre in Lacombe
Construction is now underway on a new community health centre in Lacombe.
Dignitaries gathered on Tuesday this week to see shovels hit the dirt on a building at 4580 46 Street that will see Alberta Health Services (AHS) lease 17,000 square feet of space in the new building to offer residents a wide-range of community-based health services all under one roof.
AHS officials say the new facility will become home for health programs and services currently offered at two downtown locations: the Provincial Building and Parkland Place.
With construction anticipated to be complete in fall of 2019, programs and services moving to the new facility will be done so in phases.
