The long anticipated PYMS Health Hub will take a major step toward becoming reality today, as the turning of sod signals the beginning of construction.

The $9.19 million Health Hub will bring together health and service providers instrumental to tackling the effects of drugs, alcohol and mental health issues faced by young people in the Peel region.

Construction of the PYMS Health Hub is particularly significant to Member for Canning Andrew Hastie, who has worked with GP Down South and other local service providers to make it a reality since the by-election in September 2015.
