Health

Charleville is fortunate to avail of top-class facilities regarding mental health and well-being.

St. Joseph's Foundation

St. Joseph's Foundation is the region's primary health care and educational centre for people with both mental and physical disabilities. It provides a variety of services to children with an intellectual disability who are 0-18 years of age and living within our catchment area.  These services are delivered in the home, in St. Joseph's Respite Centre, in their campus based pre-school and school, or in community-based pre-schools and schools. It also provides adult day services as well as residential and community services for those over 18 years of age.

St. Joseph's mission statement is “to provide people with disabilities the opportunity to live the life of their choice to their fullest potential”.
