SUMMIT PSYCHIATRIC  CLINIC  OPENS  IN  RONDEBOSCH MEDICAL CENTRE (RMC)

 

Residents in the Southern suburbs of Cape Town and the adjoining  Cape Flats welcomed the  opening of  Summit Clinic,  a full-time mental health facility in Rondebosch.

 

LOCATION

Its location is well chosen  to serve the communities of the Southern Suburbs including Rondebosch,  Mowbray, Newlands, and bordering on the towns of Pinelands and the populous Athlone and surrounding suburbs.

In this central position the Rondebosch Medical Centre (www.rondeboschmc.com) is easily accessible via the major thoroughfares, the M5 as well as the national road (N2), and is further complemented  with such neighbours and historic landmarks as the Red Cross Children’s Hospital, the old Rondebosch Common and the Mowbray Golf Course

CONGRULATIONS

Like the many professional healthcare providers who attended the launch of the facility, Lukhanyo Clinic and its staff, commend the directors and management of RMC and Summit Clinic for their vision and compassion with so many afflicted with emotional, stress-related and other psychiatric problems, to establish a full-time facility to address their needs.

CLINIC-CARE

We are particularly impressed with the therapeutic atmosphere in the Clinic, the warm and homely ambience with the colourful wall decorations and paintings, and the modern, contemporary design of the furniture and fittings.. no less than the array of  highly qualified and skilled resident staff in addition to the professional psychiatrists, clinical psychologists, OTs monitoring their patients.
 

ONE LAST COMMENT

This comment belongs to a patient: "Yes, treatment here is a genuine treat: our whole day is scheduled with exciting activities led by the OT and clinical psychologist and the support of .....but equally reassuring is the fact that I am in and part of a new and modern hospital with all the most modern facilities..."
