The Nelson Community Health Services Centre will re-open on Wednesday.
The brand-new health care facility has been closed since Dec. 30 after a pipe burst on the third floor and caused significant water damage.
Some of the services previously offered there will be relocated back on Mar. 25, including:
- Adult day services
- Mental health and substance use (MHSU) services for seniors
- Public health (call ahead for drop-in availability)
- Early childhood development
- Environmental public health program support
Water sampling drop off services will resume on Mar. 30 on the main floor.
Interior Health (IH) said all remaining MHSU services, including substance use counselling and after-care, counselling and treatment, psychiatry, and outreach services, will continue at 514 Vernon Street for now.
Home and community care services will continue at the neighbouring Fairview Gardens.
IH said it will contact current clients directly to inform them of the changes. Individuals who require new appointments, or who have questions related to any of these services should contact IH at the following numbers:
- Mental Health and Substance Use Services: 250-505-7248 or 310-MHSU (6478)
- For general inquiries, call 250-505-7200
The facility had only been open since September, when the damage occurred.
