Greenock Health Centre Scoops Prestigious Award
The new Greenock Health and Care Centre has won a prestigious award for its unique design.
Recognised by the Glasgow Institute of Architects and designed by Hoskins Architects, the facility took home the healthcare award at the prestigious event at Glasgow's BAaD.
The £21 million centre, which has been serving the Inverclyde community since May, was officially opened by Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Care, Humza Yousaf MSP last month.
NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde Project manager, John Stevenson said: "We are delighted that the Greenock Health and Care Centre has been recognised for the positive impact it’s already having on the area. This project represents a significant investment in the area, totalling around £21million."
Jeanette Hawthorn service lead at Inverclyde HSCP for the Greenock Health and Care Centre said: "We wanted to create a purpose built space that the community and our dedicated staff would be proud of. This bright, modern and fully accessible building not only looks good but provides an opportunity to reshape and increase services from a patient and service user perspective. We are already seeing the positive impact this new site is having on the area, both through its design and the vital services it brings to the community."
The Greenock Health and Care Centre was created through a partnership between NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde, Inverclyde Health and Social Care Partnership, Inverclyde Council and Hub West Scotland, with the local community collaborating with the project team to ensure the best possible facility for Greenock and Inverclyde.
As well as modernising the existing facilities, the new site looks to make services more integrated, accessible and efficient for patients and service users, while contributing to the wider goals of community regeneration and addressing health inequalities.
