Bothwell residents are now able to get mental health and health care services closer to home. 

The Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) Lambton Kent is expanding its Chatham-Kent MobileCare service, increasing operations to four days a week serving Bothwell, Ridgetown and Wheatley.

“Expansion of services across Chatham-Kent underscores our commitment to meeting individuals where they are, providing timely support, and improving access to care for people in our communities,” said Rhonny Doxtator, CEO of CMHA Lambton Kent. 

The MobileCare clinic is staffed by a nurse practitioner, a mental health first response worker, and a community paramedic. They provide on-the-spot support for mental health, addictions, primary care, and community paramedicine, along with referrals to other local resources.

It will be at the Bothwell Arena the first Friday of each month from 9:30 am to 3 pm. It also stops in Dresden at the arena the third Friday of each month and the Delaware Nation the third Thursday of the month.
