The North Saskatchewan River Municipal Health Holdings held their regular meeting on Sept. 14.
The board has announced the Village of Meota will no longer be a member of the North Saskatchewan River Municipal Health Holdings group effective Jan. 1. The board is disappointed to see this community leave the group. It has been our mandate to provide quality health services to the greater community area and to strive for better health and better communities in conjunction with the health region.
The board was informed of a celebration event organized by Community Health Advisory Network, to be held on Sept. 17 at the Riverside Complex for Dr. Pamela Odiegwu. She has received her Canadian Citizenship and we are very excited to celebrate this important event with her.
The executive gave reports on ongoing concern regarding lab services in the St. Walburg facility. Prairie North Health Region has been recruiting for this position for some time, but the position has remained open.
Lab services are available at Turtleford and Edam facilities.
Dr. Langeni will be away until Sept. 30.
The executive and the Riverside Clinic continue to work with Prairie North Health Region to improve and reduce outpatient flow at the Riverside facility. Please phone our clinics first, as there are often same-day appointments available in one or more of the clinics.
The NSRMHH board approved website upgrades. Information on the community of Glaslyn and the Glaslyn Clinic will be added.
The next regular board meeting will be held on Oct. 26 at 7:30 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 1-306-845-4144.
