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
