By the end of October, the MRI will be installed and operational in Dauphin Hospital.
This will alleviate the burden of travelling for these services and provide better health care in the Parkland and northern areas.
Brad Michaleski, local MLA, feels this service will be such a great thing to have in the Parkland.
“Just having it close by is such a convenience for a lot of the people in the Parkland and in our area instead of having to travel to Brandon or Winnipeg. A lot of times that’s a day trip or a day and a half trip and that’s hard on people, especially the elderly and people needing that care. To have that service locally is just a good news thing for everybody in the Parkland and Swan River area.”
Michaleski is happy it will be ready to go.
“I feel great. Again, the sooner we can get into the region the better. I know it’s been a very, very long time coming and so the sooner the better, so we can serve the Parkland residents that much better.”
