A new health-care facility in the former Costco building in St. John’s is opening this week, offering several outpatient services that were relocated from city hospitals.

“It’s been several years, but it’s exciting to see that now, Tuesday, we’re going to have patients walking through the door,” said Kim Pike, clinical planner with Capital Planning and Engineering.

“We have a beautiful space here that patients can easily navigate.”

The two-story Unity Health Centre at 28 Stavanger Drive was open for public tours on Sunday, with dozens of people arriving for a first look. Patients will start coming on Tuesday.

Seats fill the spacious waiting areas on both floors, with brightly coloured signage for the different clinics. The centre has free parking, large murals on the walls, and will eventually house a coffee shop and drug store.

Pike says patients will be able to easily get around the new space, and “don’t have the maze of our large and intimidating acute care hospital.”
