LA LOCHE BUILDING NEW HOSPITAL

Released on November 12, 1999

Residents of La Loche and area are one step closer to a new hospital today.



A sod-turning kicked off construction on a project that will consolidate the

community's health services and provide easy access to health care for northern

residents.



The new hospital will replace the current St. Martin's Hospital in La Loche.

It will contain 24 beds and offer acute care, long-term care, in-patient

alcohol and drug detoxification services, in addition to a wide range of

community health services.



"Our government's support for this project signals the our ongoing commitment

to strong, stable health services for the people of northern Saskatchewan,"

Associate Minister of Health Judy Junor said.



The government will pay most of the project's $9.5 million price tag. The new

facility should be ready to use early in 2001.



"I know how important this facility and its services are to the people of this

community," Environment and Resource Management Minister Buckley Belanger

said. "I am very pleased to see our government make a major contribution to

help ensure the health needs of northern residents are met into the future."
