Jerry Coughlan Health & Wellness Centre

The Jerry Coughlan Health & Wellness Centre (JCHWC), Lakeridge Health’s new state-of-the-art Surgical Centre and health-care facility is now open and is located at 1690 Dersan Street in North Pickering on a 2.3 acre property owned by Lakeridge Health. 

Learn more about the grand opening of the JCHWC. 

The Surgical Centre will soon provide a wide range of day surgeries, including endoscopy, orthopaedics, and gynaecological procedures. With more than 9,000 surgical cases projected to be completed annually at the JCHWC, Lakeridge Health’s hospital operating rooms will have increased capacity for more complex procedures.

In addition, the facility houses other health-care services, including doctors’ offices, urgent care, diagnostic imaging, lab services, and a pharmacy.

The JCHWC will play a pivotal role in expanding health care for the residents of Durham Region. It will provide connected and convenient care, including the capacity to improve patient wait times and patient experiences, as well as be fully integrated within Lakeridge Health’s health-care system.

The JCHWC was named after the late local philanthropist, and community-builder, Jerry Coughlan, in recognition of his historic philanthropic support of $9 million to the new facility through the Ajax Pickering Hospital Foundation and Lakeridge Health Foundation. These generous gifts provided the basis of the capital development of this Centre.
