Health Minister Clay Serby today announced approval in principle for along term care facility for the East Central Health District. The
Yorkton nursing home project will provide heavy care services in a
home-like environment and enhance long term care programs available to
seniors in the district.
"We are investing in quality health services," Serby said. "The
provincial contribution for this project will be determined once
agreements are finalized between the district and Saskatchewan
Health."
Capital proposals are reviewed by a Capital Evaluation Committee that
includes staff from Saskatchewan Health and representatives of health
districts.
This year's capital budget is $44.9 million, including previously
announced and newly approved projects.
