The Morton Community Healthcare Centre is a state-of-the art community medical centre staffed by five physicians, nurse practitioners and allied healthcare professionals acting as a family health team.
Opened in September, 2009, the Centre offers a Telephone Health Advisory Service that is available after hours for all who are patients at the clinic. There is always a doctor on call from 5 to 8 pm and on weekends.
On the edge of the village of Lakefield in Douro-Dummer Township, the Centre is conveniently located at the intersection of Highway 28 and Strickland St., and features an adequate parking area. See the map, and the site plan.
