Southlake Health announced Oct. 19 that it has partnered with Treasure Hill to develop the Georgina Advanced Care Centre in north Keswick.
The facility will be built at the southwest corner of Woodbine Avenue and Old Homestead Road. Southlake has not yet disclosed the centre’s planned medical services, construction timeline or details of its agreement with Treasure Hill, a top-tier GTA low-rise homebuilder.
“Today marks an exciting step forward in our vision to build a more connected health system for the communities we serve,” Southlake president and CEO Dr. Paul Woods said in a media release.
Woods said the centre would bring care closer to residents through Southlake’s Distributed Health Network.
The announcement followed a request for expressions of interest Southlake issued in May. The health organization sought a partner with suitable land and the development expertise needed to build the centre.
Treasure Hill president Nicholas Fidei said community building extends beyond housing and includes ensuring residents can access health care when needed.
“We are proud to partner with Southlake Health to bring the first Advanced Care Centre to Georgina,” Fidei said. “There is no greater investment we can make than in the health and well-being of our families, friends and neighbours.”
Georgina Mayor Margaret Quirk said the centre would improve access to care for residents throughout the municipality.
“This is about more than a new health care facility; it is about accessibility, dignity and ensuring our community has the health services it needs, now and for generations to come,” Quirk said.
Southlake’s health assessment identified a need for more primary care physicians east of Woodbine Avenue, particularly in Sutton. Despite that finding, Southlake selected the Keswick site for the new facility.
Angela Cruz, Southlake’s manager of communications and public affairs, told the Post that the Woodbine Avenue and Old Homestead Road property best met the organization’s criteria for a community-based health-care facility serving both current and future needs.
Cruz said Southlake recognizes the needs identified in Sutton and that the assessment continues to inform planning across Georgina.
“While the Advanced Care Centre will be located in Keswick, a physical presence in Georgina can enable new models of care through Southlake’s Distributed Health Network, such as virtual care, care delivered at home, and other partnerships with community-based providers,” she said.
Southlake has not disclosed the terms of its partnership with Treasure Hill, the services the centre will provide or when construction is expected to begin.
“Details of individual submissions are commercially sensitive and cannot be disclosed at this stage,” Cruz said. “Construction timelines and the specific services to be offered will be confirmed through future announcements as planning progresses.”
