Primary Care Expansion
July 9, 2026
“Access to team-based, comprehensive primary health care is fundamental to having a strong and healthy community,” said Taralea McLean, Executive Director of Bridges Community Health Centre. “Bridges Community Health Centre is pleased to advance the goal of connecting every person in South Niagara to team-based primary health care close to home. Our collective work will improve access to care for thousands of people, including nearly 9,000 residents across South Niagara. We extend our gratitude to the Ministry of Health for this significant investment, which will allow us to take a coordinated approach to improving how people access and receive health care in Fort Erie, Port Colborne and Wainfleet.”
BRIDGES CHC IS CURRENTLY ACCEPTING NEW PATIENTS/CLIENTS AT OUR PORT COLBORNE SITE ONLY.
We ask for your patience, there is a wait time as we bring on new patients in Port Colborne. We are not currently accepting patients in Fort Erie. If you do not have a doctor or nurse practitioner and live in Fort Erie, Port Colborne, or Wainfleet, please call 289-479-5017 or email info@bridgeschc.ca.
Bridges CHC and our partners have begun to recruit and will soon welcome new team members as part of this expansion.
