Upgrading Health Services

  • The Forteau Community Health Centre will be expanded by eight beds this year to provide additional chronic care accommodations for the elderly. The project is expected to cost $500,000.

  • A new nursing clinic will be opened in Natuashish (Sango Bay) to replace the existing facility in Davis Inlet. Capital funding will be provided by the federal government with ongoing operational costs supported by the province. Health Labrador Corporation has entered into a similar arrangement with the Band Council in Sheshatshiu and the new clinic there.

  • The Captain William Jackman Memorial Hospital in Labrador City will undergo renovations to the birthing suite, laboratory and entrances to improve the functional layout of the facility.

  • New mammography equipment has also been placed at Labrador Health Centre and Captain William Jackman Memorial Hospital. The equipment was purchased with funds raised through community-based groups and will be operated and maintained by hospital staff.
