										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I’m excited to share that we’ve made significant progress in our planning for  the move to the new Health Hub.</p>
<p>Consolidating all the family doctors in Beckwith and Carleton Place into one location requires careful organization, and to support this effort, we’ve established the Health Hub Oversight Committee. This committee is comprised of our two Beckwith/Carleton Place lead family doctors, Clinic Manager Karen Hall, Treasurer, Family Health Team’s Director of<br />
Operations Tanya Brydges, and me.</p>
<p>As we approach the completion date—<strong>less than five months away</strong>—we’re diving deep into the details of the move. Our focus ranges from inventorying equipment and ordering furniture to confirming staffing roles and procuring medical and office supplies. We are committed to ensuring that no aspect is left to chance.</p>
<p>Learn how our dedicated Oversight Committee is working  to ensure a smooth transition. <a href="https://ovfht.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Community-Connections_October-2024.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">READ MORE</a></p>

We recently completed renovations at our Almonte location, to accommodate the revamped Program, and we celebrated our official grand opening last week. We are thrilled to offer a wide array of mental health services, with a focus on various specialties among our team.</p>
<p>We’re also launching an on-site Echocardiogram Clinic through an established partnership and we’re in the process of developing new cardiac diagnostic programming to enhance the offerings for our patients.</p>
<p>On a bittersweet note, we announce the retirement of Dr. Graeme McKillop, a longstanding member of our team. His invaluable contributions will be missed, and we wish him all the best in this new chapter of his life. We are excited to welcome Dr. Laura Santos, who will take over his practice. Her experience and compassionate care will be a wonderful addition to our team. Lastly, our new building is progressing beautifully, allowing us to expand and enhance our services for our patients in the Carleton Place/Beckwith communities. I’ve included above a photo of Tanya Brydges, Director of Operations, and Karen Hall, Clinic Manager, to give you a glimpse at the Health Hub’s interior. </p>
