Tomorrow (Wednesday) will be a special day for the residents of Russell.
A Grand Opening for the new Community Cancer Care Centre in that community will take place at 10 am tomorrow, with a barbecue to follow right after.
The project, which was recently completed, added an additional 33-hundred square feet to the existing Cancer Care Manitoba chemotherapy treatment space in the Russell Health Centre.
The facility now includes an expanded nursing station and medication storage area, as well as the creation of a dedicated patient bathroom, nourishment area, and waiting area.
Funding for the $2.5 million project came from the provincial government, as well as the Expanding Community Cancer Care Committee, which raised $1.8 million towards the construction and equipment costs for the project.
