FIRST Patients Welcomed At New Greenock Health Centre

GREENOCK’S new health and care centre opened to patients on Monday.

The £22million facility in Wellington Street hosts a wide range of services including general practices, podiatry, physiotherapy, dental, speech and language therapy, mental health, sexual health, pharmacy plus district nursing and home care staff.

The inner courtyard of the three-storey building is home to a memorial plaque for Janice Graham, an Inverclyde Health and Social Care Partnership district nursing staff member who sadly died of covid-19 last year.

Contemporary artwork is incorporated throughout the building inspired by the natural and cultural heritage of Inverclyde.

Jane Grant, chief executive of NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde, said: “Investing in the community of Greenock and Inverclyde is a priority for us, and we are pleased to offer a brilliantly designed, modern space for patients and staff alike.”

The building is on the Wellington Academy site and replaced the health centre in Duncan Street.
