Our History

Atwell started with an idea that no woman or couple should have to face an unexpected pregnancy alone.

2012

Opening day

When surveying the greater GTA, the steering committee of Atwell noticed that there was a need for a Pregnancy Care Centre in both Hamilton and Halton. The steering committee was drawn to starting its first location in Hamilton, because of the large university and college presence; always intending to open a satellite location in Halton.

The Atwell Centre (previously:Pregnancy Support Services of Hamilton) opened its doors in Hamilton in 2012.


2016

Open for business (Full Time)

In 2016 the centre opened with full-time hours offering services to the community throughout the week.

2019

Centre Renovation

In 2019, the centre went through an extensive renovation to ensure we would be able to serve the community to the best of our abilities.

2020

Limited Medical Services

In 2020, Atwell Centre opened the limited medical services and switched the services model from utilizing Social Workers to Registered Nurses.
