The North Saskatchewan River Municipal Health Holdings held their regular meeting on Monday, Feb. 19.
Please give Dr. Jabeen and her family a warm welcome to our community. If you are looking for a new family doctor Dr. Jabeen and Dr. Forghanirad are accepting new patients. Please contact our clinics to make an appointment with our newest physicians. The clinic staff will be working with the physicians to continue the process of ensuring as many residents as possible have a designated family doctor or nurse practitioner. This is an important aspect of Primary Care as we continue to try to improve our services to our communities.
Dr. Tshatshela will be away on holidays from Feb. 22 to March. Please keep this in mind when booking routine appointments as we want to keep appointments available for more urgent concerns.
The board was informed that the Edam community has requested permission from the health authority to fund a replacement CBC machine for the lab at Lady Minto facility. The community is hopeful they will be allowed to purchase this equipment for the facility.
The NSRMHH board approved the 2018 budget, 2018 Record Retention schedule and Clinic Co-ordinator job description.
The next regular meeting of the North Saskatchewan River Municipal Health Holdings Board will be held Monday, March 19 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 845-4144.
