Who we are and what we do:

What's ahead:
This year is an exciting year for West Park as our 27-acre site will be transformed into an integrated campus of care, including a new hospital building and additional community supports such as assisted living for persons with disabilities and seniors. This transformation enables the Centre to evolve its rehabilitative programs and strengthen links to community-based services to meet the future healthcare needs of our local community and the province. West Park is embarking on two major capital projects to bring together specialized rehabilitative, complex continuing, primary and long-term care and independent living opportunities.
