The North Saskatchewan River Municipal Health Holdings held their regular meeting Feb. 22. The NSRMHH board is pleased to announce that Dr. Odiegwu has committed to another one-year contract with North Sask. River Health Holdings clinics. Dr. Odiegwu is a valued member of our team and we feel fortunate to have such talented and committed practitioners for our clinics.
The board welcomed newly appointed board member Leslie Clark, representative for the RM of Parkdale No. 498. The board also wishes to thank long time representative Barry Mykytuk for his years of service to our board.
The clinics have seen an increase in no-shows as of late and we are looking for new measures to help reduce these numbers. Please ensure that you notify the clinic if you cannot attend your appointment. This courtesy will allow staff to make the appointment available to residents that are needing to see their practitioner. Also be aware that all our clinics can access each other's schedules and if you are willing to travel you may be able to see your practitioner of choice sooner.
Councillor Hawryluk gave a report on the fundraising efforts by the Town of St. Walburg for new lab equipment at the St. Walburg facility. Funds have been raised by the Town of St. Walburg, RM of Frenchman Butte, St. Walburg Royal Purple and the Twin Rivers Foundation to cover the costs for a new CBC machine and ECG.
The next regular meeting of the North Saskatchewan River Municipal Health Holdings Board will be held March 21 at 7:30 p.m. in the RM of Mervin office, Turtleford. If anyone has any questions, they are welcome to contact the representative from their area or the office at 306-845-4144.
