The health and wellbeing of our communities depend on strong partnerships and coordinated, accessible services. Across Ontario, Community Health Centres (CHCs) play a vital role in making this possible. Rideau Community Health Services (RCHS), with locations in Merrickville, Smiths Falls, Brockville, and Perth, is proud to be part of this province-wide network of CHCs.
RCHS provides high-quality programs and services through a team-based approach, tailoring care to the needs and priorities of the people we serve. Our services are designed to respond directly to gaps in care and help people live healthier lives.
We are excited to continue to make progress towards planning for the Smiths Falls Integrated Health and Social Services Hub — a project that will bring together multiple providers and services under one roof, creating a modern, collaborative space where people can access the care they need in a single, welcoming location.
Although there is still much work ahead, the momentum is encouraging. We are working with the Ministry of Health Capital Investments Branch in order to move to the next phase of the project. The Smiths Falls Integrated Health and Social Services Hub represents a significant investment in the health of Smiths Falls and our surrounding communities. The new facility would strengthen collaboration between providers, improve access to care, and make it easier for our clients and community members to get the right support at the right time.
At RCHS, we believe that strong, healthy communities are built through collaboration, compassion, and innovation. Projects like the Smiths Falls Integrated Health and Social Services Hub are only possible thanks to the dedication of our partners and the continued support of the community. We look forward to sharing more updates as this work moves forward and remain committed to creating a brighter, healthier future for everyone we serve.
