Who We Are
In the early 2000’s Omemee Hydro was sold to Hydro One which was mandated as part of the amalgamation of the townships and communities of Victoria County, now known as the City of Kawartha Lakes. The funds from the sale, the Omemee Community Hydro Electric Systems Transfers (CHEST) Fund could only be used for charitable or non-profit initiatives.
At that time, the only family physician in Omemee was retiring. It became the community’s vision to ensure access to local healthcare was maintained. The owners of the former Regal property severed a portion of their land to support the community’s vision.
This donated parcel of land became the impetus for building a facility to support the vision. Through community engagement and Council’s support, a Board of Directors was formed to build a medical facility and recruit primary care providers.
