Keith Steeves didn’t realize the insomnia, nightmares and anxiety attacks that plagued him following his return from active duty in war-torn Bosnia in 1993 actually had a name. And he certainly wasn’t aware of the help he would find within his own community.

Three years ago, Steeves was diagnosed with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, or PTSD, a stress-related condition common to military personnel who have served in the line of fire. Part of his treatment plan would have required monthly trips to a specialist in Fredericton, however, thanks to Telehealth video conferencing facilities located at the Albert County Health & Wellness Centre, he was able to meet with his doctor without the expense of travel.

It includes primary care, but is a much broader concept that also encompasses community programs and services. It includes population health, health promotion, disease and injury prevention, wellness care, chronic disease management across the lifespan, and community development.
