The Kamsack and District Hospital is currently undergoing minor renovations to better deliver services to residents utilizing the facility, said a release from Sunrise Health Region.
The renovations will allow the outpatient area to return to its original use as the main receiving area for emergency and acute care clients and visitors to the Kamsack and District Hospital.
In another portion of the building, a separate waiting area is being created for clients of the Stepping Stone program, which will offer increased privacy and offer co-located services from public health, mental health and addictions, primary health care, communicable disease specialist services (from Regina) and space will be allocated to support elements of traditional First Nations healing.
“These renovations will provide better access and privacy for everyone we serve,” said Sandy Tokaruk, vice-president of Integrated Primary Health Services with Sunrise Health Region. “We are focused on keeping our patients first by returning our outpatient waiting room back to its original use and offering our Stepping Stone clients an area where they can access the entire team of service providers that they might need.”
Renovations are expected to be completed by August 8, the release said.

The work was completed last week, he said. “It was all done for a cost under $5,000.” Money for the project was raised with the ham supper served recently and the staging of the play A Night of Dark Intent last month, he said. “Also the movies we’ve been showing recently have been successful.”
Koreluik said that first-run movies will continue to be shown at the Playhouse during the summer, usually one a week.
And now the theatre, renowned for its excellent acoustics for live performances, will also have a good, useable backstage dressing room.
Fred Eaglesmith, whose concert on October 22 will be the first of four performing groups in the 2016-17 Stars for Saskatchewan series of concerts, will probably be the first performer to make use of the dressing room.
In November, the Kamsack Players will be staging Piano Dad, a one-act play which will go on to Theatre Saskatchewan’s TheatreOne Festival.
