Locations

The Jerry Coughlan Health & Wellness Centre (JCHWC), Lakeridge Health’s new state-of-the-art Surgical Centre and health-care facility is located at 1690 Dersan Street in North Pickering on a 2.3 acre property owned by Lakeridge Health.

The Surgical Centre provides a wide range of day surgeries, including endoscopy, orthopaedics, and gynaecological procedures. With more than 9,000 surgical cases projected to be completed annually at the JCHWC, Lakeridge Health’s hospital operating rooms will have increased capacity for more complex procedures.

In addition, the facility houses other health-care services, including doctors’ offices, urgent care, diagnostic imaging, lab services, and a pharmacy.

The JCHWC plays a pivotal role in expanding health care for the residents of Durham Region. It provides connected and convenient care, including the capacity to improve patient wait times and patient experiences, as well as be fully integrated within Lakeridge Health’s health-care system.

The JCHWC was named after the late local philanthropist, and community-builder, Jerry Coughlan, in recognition of his historic philanthropic support of $9 million to the new facility through the Ajax Pickering Hospital Foundation and Lakeridge Health Foundation. These generous gifts provided the basis of the capital development of this Centre.

Durham Mental Health Services (DMHS) is a charitable not-for-profit agency providing services and supports to individuals and families who are living with mental health concerns. Operating under the direction of a volunteer Board of Directors, staff work in partnership with clients, offering services that are person-centred and sensitive to individual needs.

DMHS began operation in 1987 when a coalition of parishioners at Whitby All Saint’s Anglican Church recognized that others in the community, suffering from severe mental health issues, were in desperate need of safe, affordable housing. Now, over 20 years later, DMHS has grown into an agency with over one hundred employees. DMHS offers a range of mental health services, including three crisis locations and eight group homes across Durham Region.

On October 1, 2020, Lakeridge Health and DMHS announced a voluntary integration of the two organizations. By working together, Lakeridge Health and DMHS can better coordinate services in both community and acute care settings, facilitate smoother transitions and faster connections to appropriate services, and create a supportive continuum of care for clients.
