The local area is getting some new primary health care as part of The North East Local Health Integration Network (NE LHIN) push for stronger systems of care for Aboriginals.
Noojmowin-Teg Aboriginal Health Access Centre is receiving $810,000 to expand Aboriginal Health Access Centre programs and services to Indigenous people in Espanola and Massey.
Noojmowin-Teg Health Centre executive director, Pamela Williamson, says she is pleased to receive funding for an expansion of primary care services to Anishinabe people living within Espanola and area. She added as a priority, the organization will seek to engage the community in greater awareness of the new services, develop pathways for referrals and linked services with Espanola partners, and ensure that the services respond to the needs of clients.
The new services will include a full-time nurse practitioner who will provide clinical services within the Espanola Family Health Team.
