MUNICIPALITY OF HURON EAST SELLS HURON EAST HEALTH CENTRE TO LOCAL FAMILY PHYSICIAN
Huron East, ON – The Council of the Municipality of Huron East has approved the sale of the Huron East Health Centre, located on Centennial Drive in Seaforth, ON., to a local family doctor committed to enhancing heath care services in the community
This decision will have no impact on the services provided by the Huron East Health Centre or the existing Family Health Team. Mayor Bernie MacLellan emphasized the benefits of the sale, stating, "As Council, we see this as an opportunity for someone aware of a family health care practice's needs to better serve the occupants of the Huron East Health Centre and the Family Health Team. With the ongoing financial struggles of the Family Health Team due to limits on provincial funding, the sale of the building to a medical practitioner will address those needs while ensuring there are no financial impacts to the ratepayers of Huron East."
The Huron East Health Centre was constructed in 2008/2009 and was funded through debentures with Huron East and the Seaforth Community Development Trust. The cost of those debentures had been funded through the revenue from the tenant rents and has had no net financial implications to the municipality since it began operation. The municipality was concerned that going forward there could be financial implications for the continued operation.
Mayor MacLellan further commented that, "Our initial goal when we constructed the building to house the Family Health Team operations was to ensure access to reliable health care services for the residents of Huron East. We are confident that this transaction will ensure these essential services are provided in our community."
