Central Peace Health Center

Our knowledgeable family physicians (Dr Olaniyan, Dr Funk, Dr Wolfaardt, and Dr Kitagawa) and staff are dedicated to providing excellent, comprehensive primary health care for the LOCAL Spirit River community. Due to limited medical clinic resources, we are NOT ACCEPTING new patients who DO NOT RESIDE within our clinic's CATCHMENT AREA. Our catchment area is from the BC BORDER east to TANGENT and from THE PEACE RIVER south to WOKING). Located in Spirit River, Alberta, the medical clinic, Central Peace Health Centre, offers primary health care services including health promotion, illness and injury prevention, and the diagnosis and treatment of illness and injury. We also offer enhanced services in MENTAL HEALTH COUNSELLING and CHRONIC DISEASE MANAGEMENT through partnership with our local Primary Care Network.

Building History:

The Central Peace Health Center was first envisioned during the summer of 2014 when the five municipalities – Town of Spirit River, MD of Spirit River, Village of Rycroft, Birch Hills County and Saddle Hills County – got together in order to provide increased medical and dental services and increased certainty about the long term availability of those services in the Central Peace River area. The Center (building and property) is owned by the five member municipalities of the G5 and leased to a non-profit Part 9 Company which will operate the building and lease space to the medical practitioners at arms-length from the municipalities. The five municipalities which funded the construction of the Central Peace Health Center held a series of open houses for community members and residents in order to provide information and answer questions from the public. The open houses were held in Saddle Hills County, Eaglesham, and Spirit River. Construction on the building began in the spring of 2016 and completion is expected in the summer of 2017. The building is being built with a view to serving the medical and healthcare needs of the five municipalities for up to 50 years.
