Melfort has seen its healthcare sector grow exponentially over the past few years.
It began with the Melfort Wellness Centre opening in 2017, and more recently the Heliport that officially was approved for use in November 2020, and looking ahead, the long-awaited CT scanner expected to come to the Melfort Hospital in early 2021.
“It’s kind of making a bit of a hub,” said Melfort MLA Todd Goudy. “And a bit of a model for rural communities like ours.”
Another major purchase in recent years was an digital x-ray machine worth $510,000.
Goudy said the northeast region is really lucky to have what they have in health care.
