The North Saskatchewan River Municipal Health Holdings held their regular meeting Oct. 26.
Dr. Langeni and Dr. Mpomposhe will be away for most of the month of December. The board is asking residents to try to book their routine appointments for refills and other matters in November as there will be a shortage of availability for these types of appointments in December.
The Turtleford lab has converted to automatic drop of lab results into the Electronic Medical Records system. This will mean the physicians and nurse practitioners will be able to review results sooner and provide better patient care.
The NSRMHH board has hired two new casual medical office assistants for the group’s clinics. Tierra Peterson and Diana Elliot have been welcomed to the primary care group.
