In spite of the weather today, many people attended the grand opening of the Market Place Wellness Centre in the Carleton Community Centre.
The centre will offer the services of a Nurse Practitioner, addiction programs, school outreach, blood work clinic, chronic disease management, and many other programs and services.
The West Side Food Bank will open there next Friday, and the agency's staff (volunteers) were in attendance today proudly showing off the new facilities.
The centre was created through many community partnerships, including the West side PACT, the City of Saint John, Horizon Health Network, and St. Joseph's Community Health Centre, to name a few.

Hi,
I would like to thank you for raising the profile of our community group the Westside P.A.C.T. through your blog. The Market Place Wellness Centre, (which has brought primary health care and support programs/services to the community)as well as working with the Westside Food Bank group to have the food bank relocated in the heart of the community that it serves, have been some of our biggest initiatives to date! We are very proud of this accomplishment, and know it will help improve the quality of life for our friends and neighbours!
