Expanding Horizons in Healthcare: EHN Canada Unveils EHN Bellwood Nova Scotia, Elevating Addiction and Mental Health Treatment in Atlantic Canada
LAWRENCETOWN, NS, April 25, 2024 /CNW/ - EHN Canada proudly announces a significant regional expansion of EHN Bellwood's legacy in pioneering addiction and mental health treatment centres.
Recognizing the need in Nova Scotia for both evidence-based care and facilities with 24/7 access to medical professionals, EHN Canada worked hard and fast to bring both to the Maritimes when it reopened the unique Ledgehill Treatment Centre in the Annapolis Valley in 2021. EHN Canada's team of addiction and mental health experts have been proud to offer their evidence-based, comprehensive care to Atlantic Canada ever since. In the intermittent years, Ledgehill Treatment Centre has helped more Canadians receive world-class treatment – with access to on-site medical professionals at any time.
As the next step in advancing the delivery of top-tier mental health care to the Atlantic region, Ledgehill Treatment Centre will officially become EHN Bellwood Nova Scotia on April 22nd, marking its debut as the second Bellwood location under the EHN Canada umbrella. Steering this milestone is Helen Luedee, a renowned leader in mental health and addiction, now appointed as Executive Director of EHN Bellwood Nova Scotia and EHN Guardians Atlantic (a facility serving Canada's military, veterans and first responder community).
"As Executive Director of EHN Bellwood Nova Scotia and EHN Guardians Atlantic, I am thrilled to lead this significant expansion of Bellwood's pioneering addiction and mental health treatments in the Annapolis Valley. Our commitment to providing compassionate care and innovative solutions remains steadfast as we embark on this new chapter under the EHN Canada umbrella. EHN Bellwood Nova Scotia will continue to provide excellence in care for people with substance use disorder, building upon the excellent evidence-based care that Bellwood is known for. Together, we will continue to empower individuals on their journey towards wellness, fostering hope and healing within our community"
