The Grand Bend Area Community Health Centre came into existence in 2000 with Primary Care, Allied Health Programs and Physiotherapy delivered in separate locations.
The current site for the new Centre was donated by Rice Development. In May 1999 the government announced capital funding for the new facility. The Grand Bend Area Health Services Foundation was established in November 2000 to raise funds to provide monies for items such as landscaping, furniture and equipment not funded by the government.
Sod turning took place on April 19, 2003 and the new Centre officially opened in May 2004.
Thanks to a donation from the Grand Bend Area Health Services Foundation in December 2008, the Centre purchased .75 acres immediately north of the current facility to allow for needed future expansion.
In the Spring of 2010, the Erie St. Clair Local Health Integration Network advanced one-time money which enabled a much needed upgrade to the Hensall facility.
