April 21, 2017
On Friday April 21st, Veterans, their families and Carewest OSI Clinic employees joined the Honourable Kent Hehr, Minister of Veterans Affairs and Associate Minister of National Defence, for the opening of the Carewest OSI Clinic expansion in Calgary, Alberta. In partnership with Alberta Health Services, Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC) funded the expansion at the Carewest Operational Stress Injury (OSI) Clinic. The expansion allows for future growth to meet not only the needs of Veterans, but also those of serving Canadian Armed Forces members and current and former RCMP members. More information

The facility was expanded by approximately 1,400 square feet, increasing the size of the clinic to 8,000 square feet. The additional space will accommodate the clinic’s growing number of health professionals, which has risen from 5 to 20 employees since 2006. Each OSI Clinic has a team of psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, mental health nurses, and other specialized clinicians who understand the experience and unique needs of those with military service.
