The Joan and Paul Waechter Welcome Centre at Headwaters Health Care Centre
What happend last week (October 14 - 18)
- On level one the construction team has created an additional hoarded area in order to access the mechanical components through the ceiling above.
- A second additional hoarded area will be created in between the cafeteria and health records. This will be to also access the mechanical components in the ceiling. There is no expected impact to operations.
What to expect
- A small area between IT offices and the physicians’ lounge will be hoarded for construction teams to access the mechanical functions in the ceiling above. This work will likely take 1-2 weeks.
- Mechanical sub-contractors will be coming on site next week to begin a new phase of work. They generally work on construction components related to heating, cooling, ventilation systems etc.
HN Construction hours of operation
The construction crew and the sub-trades work on site 6:00am to 5:00 pm Monday through Friday.
Construction Benefits
Headwaters patients and their families will experience a new one-stop shop with respect to arrival, registration and bill payment, supported by self-service kiosks and centralized registration.
The lobby will include a new, more accessible entryway, a new information desk, expanded waiting areas, a therapeutic and fully accessible outdoor space, a re-designed gift shop and café and a new safer and more accommodating central staircase.
These renovations are being funded through donations to the Headwaters Health Care Foundation and the Headwaters Health Care Auxiliary.
The lobby and main entrance will be named The Joan and Paul Waechter Welcome Centre, in honor of local residents, Joan and Paul Waechter’s cumulative giving to Headwaters Health Care Centre.
