Spotlight on Dr. Gordon Bell: Mental Health Treatment Pioneer
Bellwood’s name and treatments are both inspired by the pioneering work of Dr. Gordon Bell. Throughout the 1950s, he worked to learn about and from people struggling with alcoholism and drug addiction. At the time, it was a topic rarely discussed publicly or even within the medical field. In 1967, he opened the Donwood Institute, the first facility of its kind in Canada. In 1982, he founded Bellwood Health Services, which championed mental health and addiction recovery.
Today, we honour Dr. Bell’s legacy and strive to continue his ground-breaking work and successful treatment as we innovate new ways of providing evidence-based treatments for addiction and provide exclusive mental health treatment programs and support with the goal of being the best treatment centre in Ontario.
