Project Overview
The Coordinated Care Campus is a proposed partnership between the City of Grande Prairie, other levels of government, and community service providers. The proposed project involves the repurposing of a hotel and conference centre, located at 12102 – 100 Street into a Coordinated Care Campus to provide office and programming space for social service organizations, on-site health care and community supportive housing units.
The location offers a unique opportunity for the Coordinated Care Campus to conveniently co-locate residents with service providers, food, recreation, programming, a designated inclusive, Indigenous and multi-cultural spaces (smudging/prayer/activities/crafts) and healthcare all within one site.
City departments such as Enforcement Services and Community Social Development will be relocating to the Coordinated Care Campus. Support services will be provided by Northreach Society, with the potential for other local NGO's to co-locate.
The Coordinated Care Campus model offers onsite client care with wrap around 24/7 supports, including security, to address varied levels of need related to mental health, physical health, and addiction. The program includes group programming, life skills training, and assistance in accessing additional services. Additionally, the site is designed to be conducive to social enterprise and employment opportunities for program participants. All programming components have a focus on a recovery-oriented system of care.
