If funded by the Ministry of Health, Phase 2 of the Northway Wellness Centre would bring mental health and addictions services that already exist in the city under one roof

Now that the residential withdrawal management and safe beds facility has opened at the Northway Wellness Centre, Sault Area Hospital is actively seeking to add more of its services to the former Sault Star building in a second phase of construction.

“This project has been incredibly valuable and meaningful for our team,” said Case. “It has also been exhausting. We are taking a quick breath and then pushing forward with this next phase.” Currently, people seeking services to treat mental health and addictions are required to attend different clinics spread throughout the community to get the full range of care required.

If the funding request for Phase 2 is granted, it will create a one-stop shop for patients seeking care, said SAH’s Mental Health Program medical director Dr. Curtis Obadan. “This was expected, this was anticipated, this was welcomed,” Romano said of the application. “I didn’t necessarily appreciate that the application was going to be submitted shortly before the opening of Northway, but it was always something that was in the works.”“The additional resources that will be required from a financial perspective on just capital alone are going to be challenging but that is not going to, in any way, stop me from trying to pursue them,” he said.
