In 1973, the Province of Ontario passed the Regional Municipality of Durham Act to establish Durham as one of five Regional governments in the Greater Toronto Area. The Act annexed and amalgamated 21 former municipalities of the counties of Ontario, Northumberland and Durham to form eight area municipalities: Ajax, Brock, Clarington, Oshawa, Pickering, Scugog, Uxbridge and Whitby. Members of the first Regional Council were elected late in 1973 and the Regional Municipality of Durham began operating on January 1, 1974.

In November 2005, the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care (MOHLTC) announced plans to open a Community Health Centre (CHC) and satellite office in Chatham and Wallaceburg respectively. Chatham-Kent had been designated as severely under-serviced for family physicians for many years. It was later determined that a workstation would also be located on Walpole Island and possibly at another location in Chatham-Kent.The Chatham-Kent Community Health Centres Steering Committee initiated a 'community engagement' process in February 2008 to ensure involvement of community members in the identification of priority populations that need CHC services, involve the community in decision-making, and build partnerships for the CHC. The Community Engagement Report included a consultation process with participation by 75 organizations from a variety of sectors, nine open community consultation sessions throughout the municipality, and an extensive review of the census, health status and service utilization data provided by the Erie St.
