Brock Community Health Center, Cannington, ON

Brock Community Health Centre is one of ten local community health services (CHS) organizations in Durham Region which have developed an integration plan to improve access for local residents and ensure that CHS providers — their staff, volunteers and board members — are ready to better address the community health services needs of a growing population. Brock Community Health Centre’s Brock Geriatric Assessment Program (BGAP), formerly known as the Brock Geriatric Assessment Clinic, has resumed providing comprehensive geriatric assessment services for frail elderly residents living in Brock Township and surrounding areas. The program is located at 720 Simcoe Street in Beaverton (co-located at Holy Family Catholic School). In welcoming the resumption of the program, Brock CHC’s Executive Director, Ron Ballantyne, stated: “BGAP provides an essential service to frail elderly seniors (primarily aged 75+ years) living in our rural community in their homes, including retirement homes. Individuals who present with multiple challenges and medical conditions, such as cognitive impairments, decreased functioning, risk of falls, impaired mobility, incontinence and multiple medications will use the service”. BGAP’s services are provided by Kathryn Roka, Nurse Practitioner, and Angela Nicholson, Registered Practical Nurse/OTN Coordinator.
