Waypoint's Outpatient Services is on the Move!


Waypoint’s Outpatient Services is on the move to a new one-floor, fully accessible building located on the grounds of the Georgian Bay General Hospital (GBGH) Midland site. The move to the empty building formerly used by the Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit allows Waypoint to realize a long standing dream of an accessible location for clients. With a future 20-bed Schedule 1 acute mental health unit planned for GBGH, the new location is ideal and will provide close access and opportunities for patients transitioning to community services.

The Outpatient Program serves people from the community who need varying levels of mental health support. The services are geared to supporting clients and their families in managing their illness and continuing on the recovery journey. The inter-professional team includes psychiatrists, nurses, social workers, an occupational therapist, community support staff, peer supporters and administrative support.

The program will be closed for services for the next couple of days as they are busy packing and moving, but will be re-open for regular business on Tuesday November 15, 2012. Their phone number remains the same but they will have new physical and mailing addresses.

Physical address:  1126 St. Andrews Dr., Midland
Mailing address: 500 Church St., Penetanguishene, ON L9M 1G3
