Premier Roy Romanow today acknowledged and thanked the Grey Nuns fortheir longstanding good works and the contribution they have made to
health care in Saskatchewan as owners of St. Paul's Hospital in
Saskatoon.
"For over nine decades the Grey Nuns have provided the utmost in
compassion and care to families in Saskatoon and surrounding areas,"
Romanow said. "The impact they've had on the health of Saskatchewan
people is reflected by the deep gratitude of those they've served."
Romanow's comments followed an announcement indicating the Grey Nun's
intention to divest themselves of their interest in St. Paul's
Hospital.
Romanow said the Grey Nuns, as owners of St. Paul's Hospital since
1907, have continually worked in the spirit of co-operation with the
community and health system in Saskatchewan.
"Many of us have personal stories about the excellent care we've
received at St. Paul's Hospital," Romanow said. "I am glad to hear
the presence of the Grey Nuns in the hospital and in the city will
continue."
