Non-profit launching to help re-open Wembley medical clinic

The only medical clinic in the Town of Wembley is set to reopen, nearly six months after it shuttered to the public.

The clinic, which opened in 2020, closed in May 2025, after owner, Dr. Angela Luckham advised patients via social media post that she will be moving away, and no one else can take over ownership of the clinic.

The clinic has found somebody new to come in and fill that missing piece, the municipality itself.

Wembley City Councillor, Rebecca Ketchum talked about starting a non profit to keep the clinic above water.

“We are starting a non profit to sign the contract agreement with nurse practitioners that we’re hoping will start in November”

An official date for the clinic to open will be announced when the non-profit status has been completed.

Ketchum talked about how excited both her, and the town is to have this clinic back open come November.

“it will be awesome, like our community its self, I want to say the numbers we were given in our region is 25% of people don’t have access to a primary care provider, so that’s going to be huge for the region.”

Until the new nurse fills their patient list, the clinic will be accepting walk-ins once they open their doors.
