Access to Renfrew’s hub of medical facilities in the town’s north end is going to improve. Renfrew Victoria Hospital and the Town of Renfrew are preparing for the newest addition to the community. There’s a new health facility on the way between Albert and Stewart streets. The building is in the design stage and an application for site plan will be submitted, says the town. The municipality and the hospital will share on the cost of a new road from Stewart Street to Albert Street. The road will provide a link between the two streets that will offer better access to the health services facilities in the area, say officials. Tuesday night (June 23), council authorized staff to work with RVH to prepare a memorandum of understanding on shared costs of design and construction of the road. The town will retain an engineering firm to prepare a design with sufficient detail to allow the project to be tendered. The design phase is

The town has been working with RVH to advance medical services as part of Renfrew and Area Health Services Village, says the background report. The recent partnership supports a resolution passed by the previous town council, supporting in principle the development of the clinic and opening up the municipal road allowance to increase connectivity. “This project makes a lot of sense for a number of reasons,” said Renfrew Reeve and Renfrew County Warden Peter Emon. It’s necessary to house physicians, he said. The proposed two-storey building will also accommodate other medical services. “Things have changed over the years and our new doctors are not interested in working 60/70-hour weeks,” he said. They also aren’t willing to take on the large client bases held by doctors in the past, he added.
