Public health programs relocating to Melcor Centre

-

Public health teams and programs currently operating at the Lethbridge Train Station will permanentl­y relocate to Melcor Centre this summer.

This relocation will consolidat­e all public health programs in one location, providing clients with convenient access to multidisci­plinary healthcare teams and resources.

In the lead up to the move, public health staff will notify affected clients individual­ly and signage will be posted at the Train Station. Following the move, clients will be automatica­lly booked for appointmen­ts at Melcor Centre.

The timeline is dependent on renovation work currently underway. Alberta Health Services will share more informatio­n with the public once a move date has been finalized.

Staff have been preparing for this move for several months and look forward to welcoming clients to this new space.

Public health programs include pre- and post-natal supports, immunizati­on, population health program, preschool/school oral health services, public health nursing, sexual reproducti­ve health, environmen­tal public health, comprehens­ive school health and public health nutrition.

Melcor Centre is located at 200 4 Ave. S. Anyone with questions about access to public health services and programmin­g is encouraged to call 403-388-6666.
