Seven health-care facilities in the Prairie Mountain Health region were approved for funding on Monday as part of a nearly $30-million injection from the provincial government.
More than 120 projects were approved across the province to ensure health-care facilities are properly maintained, Health, Seniors and Active Living Minister Kelvin Goertzen said in a news release.
“It’s important that we regularly invest in the maintenance of our health-care system to make sure repairs are done and the most up-to-date equipment is used to support quality care,” Goertzen said.
“These investments will ensure that sites continue to meet provincial, national and international standards and keep facilities in good repair.”
The seven projects in PMH include new crew quarters at the Mafeking EMS station, a shingle replacement and fan vent upgrade at the Brandon Child and Adolescent Treatment Centre, a shingle replacement at the Rideau Park Personal Care Home in Brandon, a boiler replacement at the Minnedosa Health Centre, phase two of the domestic water system replacement at the Rossburn Personal Care Home, a roof replacement at the Souris Health Centre and a shingle replacement at Sherwood Home in Virden.
The government did not specify how much each project will receive in funding, but the news release said 44 projects are estimated to cost more than $150,000 each for a total of $21.8 million.
An additional $6.8 million will cover 80 projects estimated to cost less than $150,000 each and the remaining $1.4 million in the fund will be held in reserve for any upcoming project needs.
Requests for project funding are submitted each year by the regional health authorities, CancerCare Manitoba, Diagnostic Services Manitoba and the Addictions Foundation.
