Ontario Getting Canada's First Centre To Help First Responders Suffering PTSD

Announcement set for today

A Toronto health-care facility is set to build a rehabilitation centre dedicated solely to treating first responders and medical personnel for post-traumatic stress injuries. 

Runnymede Healthcare Centre will unveil the plans later today alongside Premier Doug Ford. 

CEO Connie Dejak says there's a clear need for help specifically for first responders. 

There will be an outpatient and assessment site in Toronto and a 40 bed site in Caledon. 

She says families will be able to come and visit loved ones and pets are also welcome to stay the duration.
