NDP, Mayor Call For Churchill To Become Medical Hub For The North

Wab Kinew, the leader of the Manitoba NDP, has started a push to make Churchill a medical hub for the north.

 

Kinew, who was recently in northern town, said that the Churchill Health Centre is a state-of-the-art facility with excellent staff.

 

He added that there is a real opportunity, and that the hospital has a unique ability to provide culturally sensitive care.

 

Churchill Mayor Mike Spence echoed Kinew’s thoughts, saying that the hospital is modern, big and ready for service but currently being under-utilized.

 

The Mayor went on to say that it was original built to service the needs of people in the region, including the Northwest Territories and Nunavut.

 

He added that the operating room is currently only being scheduled for dental surgery.
