Grand Opening is the Realization of a Dream

When Drs. Megan Wambolt and Chad Mykietiuk returned to the East Coast from Toronto in June 2008 they were looking for an opportunity to settle into a community where they could feel like they were a part of something special; instead of simply a space where business was conducted. When they first spoke with representatives of Greater Homes and viewed the location on Appaloosa Run they realized they had stumbled upon the place they would call home and plant the roots of their vision. A vision that would transform an open commercial space into the now 2000+ square ft clinic made up of six warmly decorated treatment rooms, an open presentation area, and a reception area filled with natural light, stone and colours that immediately gives you the feeling that you are in a place of healing. It took just over two months for renovations to be completed, equipment to be ordered, and finishing touches to be done. Then it was time to share with the community their vision for health care.

On Saturday December 6th 2008 the doors of Village Wellness at Appaloosa opened for the first time to a warm reception of community members, family and friends. The clinic was open for viewing in the afternoon so that community members had a chance to meet the staff and see what was happening behind closed doors during the fall months. The clinic had various prize draws available with all proceeds donated to The Arthritis Society. Drs. Wambolt and Mykietiuk were very pleased with the interest and enthusiasm of those who dropped by. It gave them a chance to meet local health care practitioners, business owners and residents of the Hammonds Plains area. In the evening invited family and friends gathered over hors d’oeuvres and wine to toast the realization of a dream. One that began as a separate journey for Dr. Wambolt and Dr. Mykietiuk, but one that has brought them together and became Village Wellness.

Dr. Megan and Dr. Chad, as they are more affectionately known, are excited to be serving the residents of Hammonds Plains and encourage everyone to drop in, take a tour, meet the staff and learn how we can help you live your best!
