Saskatchewan health facility projects, including those for maintenance and upgrade projects, have received a $17.8 million investment from the government.

A $22-million long-term care facility has officially opened in Radville, Sask., six years after the provincial government announced it would be replacing 13 long-term care centres across the province. The Radville Marian Health Centre features 25 long-term care beds, five of which are multi-purpose (used for observation, respite or palliative care), and emergency services.

A new 8,945-square-foot nursing facility has entered construction in Grand Rapids, Man. The development, which will include three exam rooms, a diagnostic services area, a two-stretcher trauma room and offices for staff, will provide Grand Rapids residents and the Misipawistik Cree Nation with a range of health care services.
