Renfrew County, ON—
The ConnectWell-Renfrew County Child Wellness Hub opened on February 3, offering important healthcare services for young children in Renfrew County.
Many families in the area struggle to find a doctor or nurse practitioner, and 1 in 5 children aged 0 to 5 do not have a primary care provider. This program, a partnership between ConnectWell, the Renfrew County and District Health Unit, and the Renfrew County Youth Wellness Hub, is here to help.
