Physician signs one-year contract

Dr. Odiegwu has committed to another one-year contract with North Saskatchewan River Health Holdings clinics.

Board members were advised of the deal at their regular meeting March 16.

According to a press release, Dr. Odiegwu is a valued member of the team and the organization says it is fortunate to have such talented and committed practitioners for their clinics.

Dr. Tshatshela will be away from April 14 to May 13 and Dr. Langeni will also be away from April 22 to May 4. With physicians away, board members advise patients to book routine appointments, such as prescription refills, two weeks in advance of needing the appointment.

Patients are also asked to notify the clinic if an appointment cannot be kept.

“This courtesy will allow staff to make the appointment available to residents that are needing to see their practitioner,” the release states.

The clinics can also access each other's schedules and those willing to travel may be able to see their practitioner of choice sooner.

There will be a grand opening for the Glaslyn Medical Clinic in the next few weeks. Please watch for posters and join the board and the Village of Glaslyn in celebrating the opening of Health Holdings’ newest clinic.

The next regular meeting will be held Monday, April 20 at 7:30 pm. in the RM of Mervin office, Turtleford. Anyone with questions can contact the representative from their area or the office at 1-306-845-4144.
