New Mental Health and Addictions Centre to open next month

The new Mental Health and Addictions Centre in St. John’s will open to patients and clients on April 13.

The new facility, with 102 beds, will provide quality patient care with features including individual inpatient rooms, shared spaces, and upgraded counselling and therapy spaces.

NL Health Services is in the final stages of transforming the Mental Health and Addictions Centre into a functional health-care facility. Installation and testing of information technology, communication and safety systems is ongoing.

All mental health inpatients at Waterford Hospital will transfer to the new facility on April 13.

Mental health services will continue throughout the move-in period. Further updates will be provided in the weeks leading up to the opening of the new Mental Health and Addictions Centre.
