The Nelson Community Health Services Centre remains temporarily closed due to water damage that occurred in the afternoon of Dec. 30. Interior Health does not have a confirmed date for re-opening of the health services centre at this time.
Services provided at the centre are being reestablished at alternate locations, including unused space at the neighbouring Nelson Fairview Gardens, which was not impacted.
Mental health and substance use services have been moved to the downtown Nelson location at 514 Vernon St.
Services normally provided out of the centre include but are not limited to:
- Adult day services
- Mental health & substance use services
- Public health
- Early childhood development
- Home & community care services
- Environmental public health & licensing
Interior Health will continue to contact current clients, including those with scheduled appointments, directly.
Individuals who require new appointments or have questions related to any of these services should contact Interior Health at the following numbers:
- Mental Health and Substance Use Services: 250-505-7248 or 310-MHSU (6478)
- Call the general number at 250-505-7200 and select a specific service using the phone menu.
Interior Health is requesting that individuals call the general number above to access new services. Drop-ins, with the exception of mental health and substance use at the downtown location, are not currently available.
We will provide additional updates as they become available.
