"The West Elgin Community Health Centre is such an invaluable resource in our community that I think more people should know about.  They offer so much more than just doctors and nurses and their programming is run by caring staff who you can tell love what they do.  I started coming here a number of years back for primary care and have since used many of their programs and I can't say enough good things.  They run programs for kids starting at age 0 all the way up to age 18 and they also run programs for adults and parents and even offer childcare during some of those programs which is a huge bonus. 

The Health Centre offers primary care, lab services, chronic disease management, counselling, diabetes management, dietitians, all of which I have used and had great success with.  Stephanie, in chronic disease management, has totally changed my life and my mindset.  We have also used a ton of mental health programs for my family member and its all been great.  On top of that they run so many community programs, including cooking classes for kids of all ages that are so much fun for the kids (and the parents) and I'm finding myself really enjoying the programming and getting a chance to socialize with other people in the community.  Julie and Janelle are so wonderful and Dr. Rycerz is always thorough and helpful.  We've also had Shauna do appointments and she's been a pleasure to work with. 

There is always quick appointments if you desperately need them - somebody will fit you in.  Sometimes you will have to wait for a general appointment but I really don't mind given the amount of service I personally get from here.  Truly, I feel that what the community gets from the Health Centre is invaluable and I hope more people take advantage of all the free programming".
