It will include clinics such as physio and occupational therapy, high blood pressure, diabetes and orthopaedic assessment, 17 examination rooms, 24 dialysis stations, diagnostic imaging (x-rays and ultrasounds), blood collection, post-surgery or post-treatment follow-up appointments.

Each year nearly 28,000 clinical visits and 30,000 x-ray and blood collection visits are expected at the new outpatient centre.

The primary users of the outpatient centre are expected to be 40% of the residents living in rural communities along with outside the downtown core with easy access off the highways.

Nova Scotia Health Authority integrated health services vice-president Paula Bond said: “Today marks a major step forward within the QEII New Generation Project. The new Community Outpatient Centre in Bayers Lake will provide Nova Scotians easier access to modern, high-quality supports and care, closer to home, for generations to come.”

The project is the first P3 healthcare project in the province and is one of the elements of the broader QEII New Generation Project, a phased, multi-year programme that aims to redesign and build healthcare infrastructure in Halifax.
