The province is providing two more years of funding for the Access to Care Clinic in Wyoming.
In a hastily organized news conference, officials said the centre would receive $910,000 annually for the next two years.
The clinic, in partnership with Ontario Health, the Rapids Health Team and the Central Lambton Family Health Team has seen 6,600 patients since April, with each health care provider seeing between 800 and 1,000 patients per month.
Officials say 90 per cent of the patients that come to the five-day-a week clinic say without it, they would have gone to the emergency department.
Lynn Laidler, the executive director of the Rapids Family Health Team, a partner in the project says they hope to work to match some of their patients with doctors in the future.
“I’m going to put in a little dig that more money would be great so we can hire more staff, so we can see more people,” she said.
Plympton-Wyoming Mayor Gary Atkinson was on hand for the announcement. The town provided the building and renovated it for health care purposes.
