About Albert County Health and Wellness Centre
Albert County Health and Wellness Centre, located in Riverside-Albert, New Brunswick, is part of South-East Regional Health Authority's multidisciplinary network of hospitals, health centres, services and programs leading the way in health promotion and education. The centre is committed to serving the 4,000 residents of the Hillsborough, Riverside-Albert and Alma regions. During the summer months tourists to the area also access the primary health care services offered at the centre.
The centre first opened as a hospital in 1961. In 2002 it became known as the Albert County Health and Wellness Centre and recently underwent renovations. The multidisciplinary team strives to provide primary health care services, illness and injury prevention, chronic disease management and community development services.
The staff at Albert County Health and Wellness Centre provides individualized and community-based health care and develops long-term relationships with their patients. The centre works closely with The Moncton Hospital, which specializes in acute and trauma care.
Staff includes on-site physicians with a family practice and nurses who work together to provide physiotherapy, medical imaging, laboratory services and phlebotomy. In addition, the Extra-Mural Program and Addiction Services operate as satellite services at this site. The centre offers diabetic teaching, a foot care program and a Healthy Lifestyle program, nutrition counselling, smoking cessation program and well woman clinics.
