Morin-Heights’s clinique will extand and relocate
PRESS RELEASE
The Morin-Heights Health Coop Will Expand and Relocate
Morin-Heights, June 8th, 2026 – The Morin-Heights Health Coop clinic is getting a fresh new look and doubling its square footage to better serve its members and the surrounding community. The clinic will be relocated to the corner of Route 364 and Chemin du Village, with the move scheduled for winter 2027.
At a time when health and social service needs are critical in the Laurentians, the Saint-Adolphe-d’Howard Health Coop in Morin-Heights—which has been providing local services to the surrounding community for over 10 years—will relocate and expand its facilities to meet the growing needs of the population.
This project is made possible thanks to three major grants: $350,000 from the Regional Economic Development Minister Delegate’s Collective Entrepreneurship Capital Investment Program (PIEC), $50,000 from the Fondation médicale des Laurentides, and $20,000 from Desjardins’ Community Development Fund. Financements from the Fiducie du Chantier de l’économie sociale, Investissement Québec, and the MRC des Pays-d’en-Haut complete the financing package.
"I am very pleased to announce this project, which is the result of several months of hard work and planning. The new clinic will remain in the heart of the Morin-Heights municipality to continue offering local services to its residents. The steady growth of our services required larger facilities to accommodate more healthcare professionals looking for a practice environment in our beautiful region. These new facilities will allow us to ensure the development and long-term sustainability of our organization for years to come," explained Didier Huysecom, President of the Health Coop’s Board of Directors.
The clinic will be located on the second floor of the Morin-Heights Familiprix pharmacy. The pharmacist-owners are long-standing partners of the Health Coop, as the Saint-Adolphe-d’Howard clinic is already established on the second floor of their branch in that municipality.
"We are extremely proud and excited to announce the relocation of the Morin-Heights Health Coop offices to the second floor of the Morin-Heights Familiprix pharmacy. Following major renovations completed in 2023, the pharmacy was fully ready to host a new project promoting collaboration among healthcare professionals for the benefit of the surrounding community. These new spaces, designed to meet modern practice needs, combined with the commitment of the project's various partners, will provide the Health Coop with an environment conducive to its growth and service expansion. Backed by over 25 years of community presence and a close relationship with its clientele, the pharmacy will continue to innovate and collaborate with the Health Coop to offer personalized, high-quality services to its customers.", explained Valérie Barrette-Mayrand, co-owner’s pharmacist.
The Health Coop is a well-established organization that has been active in the region for twenty years. The Morin-Heights clinic opened its doors in January 2016, ten years after the Saint-Adolphe-d’Howard location. Since then, both facilities have seen their activities grow alongside regional development and community needs. Today, the Saint-Adolphe and Morin-Heights Health Coop medical team includes ten family doctors, one psychiatrist, one sports medicine specialist, five specialized nurse practitioners, seven clinical nurses, four social workers, one physiotherapist, one sexologist, one acupuncturist, one orthotist, and two osteopaths. The Coop also employs a full-time administrative team of seven local residents.
The grand opening of the new facilities is scheduled for winter 2027.

NOTICE OF MEETING 2024-GENERAL ANNUAL
Dear,
Members of the Cooperative,
We are pleased to warmly thank all the collaborators of the Health Cooperative (members, staff, doctors, tenants and private and public donors). Without a doubt, the success of our cooperative is the result of magnificent teamwork!
This past year, we had the pleasure of welcoming three new health professionals. More than 774 people were assigned to a family doctor thanks to the work of your Coop santé!
We worked hard to re-establish the local blood collection service for our members! It finally started in August 2024. A great success!
The year 2023-2024 ended on June 30. This is the time, for the administrators and myself, to present to you the goods and bads of the past year.
You are invited to the annual general meeting which will take place on Friday October 25, 2024 at 7 p.m. at Chalet Bellevue in Morin-Heights. You will find the notice of meeting attached.
An administrator position is open this year and one administrator will be up for election. A profile with legal knowledge, in communication or in organizing community events would be a good addition to our team.
Hoping to see many of you there!
Please accept, Madam, Sir, the expression of our best regards.
