As we head into winter, we also enter cough and cold season. The physicians we work with would like to remind everyone that most of the time, coughs/colds are caused by viruses and the illness just has to run its course. Most of the time, you do not need to see the doctor or nurse practitioner. There are many things you can do at home to manage your symptoms. Before you call for common ailments, check out this link to our website with informational links about when and how to self-manage vs. when to call the doctor: https://wellandmcmasterfht.com/helpfullinks.php

Please see this message from property management regarding the change in parking fee for 555 Prince Charles, effective January 1, 2026:

"The health care environment is changing rapidly. We are trying to keep pace to best serve our tenants and the Welland community.

While faced with the rising inflation costs, we also recognize the need to continue improving upon the services available at 555 Prince Charles Drive. In order to meet the increasing demand of patients, the traffic funneling through the building, and to address the suggestions of our tenants, we have moved forward with an overhaul of the property's parking system.
This investment includes both an upgraded software system and replacement of the aging hardware and equipment on site.

We trust this initiative builds upon the gold standard of service we set out to provide our tenants. To achieve this objective, effective January 1, 2026, the parking rate will increase to $5.00"
