Sun Country Health Region (SCHR) has announced changes to laboratory and x-ray hours at the Bengough and Pangman Health Centres.
Effective Wednesday, February 4, 2015, these two departments will have revised hours of operation.
The new hours for the lab and x-ray department at Bengough Health Centre will be Monday from 8:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.; Tuesday from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. and Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
Services at Pangman Health Centre will resume after being unavailable for some time. As of February 4, the lab will be open every Thursday from 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.
These changes were made to align staffing to workload demands in these two centres, as well as in Radville Marian Health Centre where the workload has increased over the past year. To provide the services effectively in all the communities, the technologist from Bengough will work in Radville in Wednesdays.
Sun Country Health Region CEO Marga Cugnet says these changes should address access to laboratory services in all three communities. "The changes will help ensure that a safe, efficient and high quality lab/x-ray service is available for all residents in all three communities."
