After nearly a decade without a dedicated facility, the people of La Ressource can once again access essential primary health care in their own community. On March 11, 2015, the La Ressource Wellness Centre was destroyed by fire, disrupting services and forcing residents to seek care elsewhere. Despite outreach efforts and support from neighboring facilities, the need for a fully equipped wellness center remained urgent.
Recognizing this, Prime Minister Philip J. Pierre, in collaboration with Hon. Shawn Edward, Parliamentary Representative for Dennery North, and Hon. Moses Jn. Baptiste, Minister for Health, Wellness, and Elderly Affairs, remained steadfast in their long-standing commitment to restoring and enhancing the facility.
On Friday 28, 2025, that promise was fulfilled. The new La Ressource Wellness Centre not only restores vital health services—including maternal and child care, chronic disease management, and general medical clinics—but also introduces specialist care in dental health, mental health, men’s health, and podiatry.
With improved infrastructure and expanded services, the La Ressource Wellness Centre stands as a testament to the leadership of Prime Minister Hon. Philp J. Pierre and his administration’s unwavering commitment to accessible, high-quality healthcare for all Saint Lucians.
