A new type of health care clinic will open in Moose Jaw on Monday.

Alliance Wellness and Rehabilitation is located in the basement of the Co-Op Marketplace, 500-First Ave. N.W. It is not affiliated with the Five Hills Health Region or any other health region.

“It’s a multidisciplinary clinic, which is something that’s new,” said president Mark Lemstra, who was born in Moose Jaw. “So it’s combining all the allied health care practitioners … Basically everything that a family doctor doesn’t do, we do everything else.”

Lemstra was raised in Gravelbourg and has lived in Moose Jaw before. He said the services include physical therapy, occupational therapy, exercise therapy, psychology, home care nursing and home care nursing assistant. He added there would also be a registered dietician and a pharmacy review.
