Local Mental Health Branch Seeks Clinic At Dauphin
Dauphin branch of the Canadian Mental Health Association appeals to Hon. George Johnson minister of health for immediate plans to establish a Dauphin medical clinic. A Brandon psychiatric team presently makes frequent trips to Dauphin while a resolution cites 799 patients interviewed since June 1961 as proof of need. Dauphin president Jack Burton says the figures likely understate the true demand for a Northern Manitoba mental health facility.
