Prairie Mountain Health’s mobile clinic celebrates a decade of operations
For the past decade, an RV-turned-clinic has travelled about 1,500 kilometres a week, with a nurse and nurse practitioner on board to bring health-care services to four western Manitoba First Nations.
Andrea Eashappie says she frequently visits when the mobile clinic, operated by Prairie Mountain Health, is parked outside her office in Birdtail Sioux First Nation.
“I think it’s a great benefit.… I come once a month, my family members, my husband come once a month,” said Eashappie, who lives with diabetes.
