Cordale Housing Association opened an Integrated Healthy Living Centre in Renton in December 2005.
The centre, which was constructed and is owned by the association, is the first community-owned facility of its kind in Scotland and brings two full-time GP surgeries back to the village for the first time in over 30 years. It has also been held up as a blueprint for tackling Scotland?s poor health record in communities across the country by Minister for Health Andy Kerr MSP.
The centre will also provide a base for a new service for physically disabled young people from across the Lomond district and a large area within the centre has been earmarked for multi-purpose use by groups tackling a range of health issues.
