The provincial government is making a $358 million investment into capital projects at health care facilities and some of the funds have found their way to the Parkland.

The Dauphin and Ste. Rose are getting some money for projects.

The Dauphin Personal Care Home will be using the investment to replace the nurse call system, while the Ste. Rose facility will be making repairs to the fire system.

The investment is being split up three ways, $280 million will go to safety upgrades to personal care homes, $46 million to digital health initiatives, and $32 million to equipment and infrastructure upgrades at health care facilities.

Brian Will is Prairie Mountain Health's (PMH) Director of Capital and Infrastructure, and tells CKDM these projects will see activity within the next 18 months.
