The new medical centre will be located next to the existing Hospital and the proposed Retirement Village. The medical centre is currently in construction stage but when complete in August 2010, will provide services for two doctors, community nurse and visiting health professionals such as chiropractor, physiotherapist and podiatrist. A day care centre for Home and Community Care clients will be included.
