Community Health Hub Brings Together Primary Care,
Community Programming & Transitional Housing
Midtown Kingston Health Home has officially moved into its new home at 315 Queen Mary Road, marking an important milestone in expanding access to community-based primary care and health services in Kingston.
Located in the former Extendicare long-term care home, the new site has been designed to support a growing community health hub where people can access primary care, health promotion programs, community groups, and a range of health services in one welcoming location.
“This new location is an important access point for our community. Not only will we be providing primary care to more than 8,000 people, but our groups and community development programs will be open to everyone,” explains KCHC’s Director of Clinical Services, Meghan O’Leary. “We’ll also provide cancer screening, STI testing, sexual and reproductive health services, and other clinics for the broader community that can be booked online.”
Midtown’s new space now includes modern clinical rooms, dedicated spaces for group programming, shared community gathering areas, and outdoor spaces that will support wellness, learning, and social connection. Staff are already planning future initiatives, including a community garden and expanded volunteer opportunities, as the site continues to grow into a vibrant community hub.
The Queen Mary Road site will also provide transitional housing for individuals aged 55+ with varying levels of health care needs, supported 24/7 by on-site staff from Home Base Housing and a goal-based case management approach.
“We have a strong, existing partnership with Home Base Housing and have seen first-hand the value of primary care being offered in a location where people already gather and participate in social programming, which often reduces barriers to accessing healthcare,” Meghan adds. “Without a doubt, being co-located with supportive housing will ensure the people living there are connected to team-based primary care and have access to our social programs and supports.”
The community space will also include a Lionhearts vocational laundry program, expected to launch in October 2026, with additional programming to begin early 2027.
Following Council’s approval on July 7, a new wellness and health centre will also be added, offering services including respiratory, rehabilitation, occupational therapy, physiotherapy, and hydrotherapy.
