Six of the eleven spaces within Stonebridge Wellness Centre will be leased by the beginning of the new year.

Waldo Neustaedter, a Board Member of Bethesda Wellness Incorporated, gives this number after two new businesses recently confirmed they will begin renting space in January. Among them is Steinbach’s first ever dermatologist.

“We’re very excited that the newest folks to sign on with us are dermatologists,” says Neustaedter, “we’ve never before had a skin care specialist located in Steinbach.”

Neustaedter says the intention behind Stonebridge Wellness Centre was to attract new medical services that were not currently offered within the region. He adds that entities, such as a specialized skin care clinic, are exactly what they are looking for.

“We knew it would be a slower start because we are strictly medical focused,” admits Neustaedter who is glad the Stonebridge Wellness Centre is beginning to cultivate more tenants.

Neustaedter feels they are well on their way towards making the facility a hub of medical activity for people all across southeastern Manitoba.
