The facility is based on the former site of Boland's Builders Providers at Castle Park and construction on the project was hit with a number of delays as a result of failed leasing agreements.
The centre will now offer a full range of multi-disciplinary primary care and community-based services to the residents of Arklow and surrounding towns including Avoca, Redcross, Woodenbridge and Ballycoogue.
When fully operational, it will offer a full spectrum of primary care services including Public Health Nursing, Physiotherapy, Occupational Therapy, Dietetics, Psychology, Podiatry, Chiropody, Dental, Social Work, and Speech and Language Therapy. Senior Medical Officers and a Health Promotion and Improvement Officer will also form part of this multi-disciplinary, primary care team.
