The official grand opening of the new Prodrome Health Centre took place on May 29, with founder Dr. Dayan Goodenowe cutting the red ribbon alongside his dedicated team.
This is the first outreach centre from Prodrome Sciences, Dr. Goodenowe’s first motion into public community health.
The centre’s purpose is to offer a preventative outlook on health, and welcome people into a like-minded community and give them the information necessary to better both their short-term and long-term health.
Early detection offers a chance to address and change lifestyle conditions that could help prevent or delay certain ailments. This is the purpose of preventative medicine, and this opening day has been a long time in the making.
The new health centre is located at 1350 Lakeview Road.“Our whole vision is supporting people, building community,” she added. “We don't have all the answers. We have researchers, we have partners around the world and we want to find the answers and work with the community.”
Prodrome Sciences Inc. hopes that the establishment of the centre will continue to grow and offer it’s services to the entire province.
“It's great to just start in one community, and the goal and the dream is other communities in Saskatchewan,” said Shklanka. “We're starting with one town at a time, one community at a time.”
Moose Jaw was chosen as the initial starting point both because of its central location within the province, and also maybe with a bit of insider knowledge: as a farm boy born and raised in the area, Dr. Goodenowe knows a little bit about how it connects with the rest of Saskatchewan.
“Ultimately, we're interested in changing the overall health of this entire province,” said Dr. Goodenowe.
