A number of projects to maintain and improve health-care facilities throughout the Northern Regional Health Authority will soon be underway.

Health Minister Sharon Blady announced yesterday that in 2016 more than $450,000 is being invested in 11 projects in facilities throughout the region. They include $21,000 for a sewage lift station at the Thompson General Hospital.

The Flin Flon General Hospital, Flin Flon Personal Care Home and The Pas Health Complex will see projects including flooring and lighting replacement, a water filtration system and tub replacements.

Work on the projects is scheduled to be completed in the next two years.
