Hamiota Health Centre Adds UVB Light Therapy for Psoriasis
In early 1997 the Hamiota District Health Centre purchased a UVB light panel, becoming the only facility outside Winnipeg to offer this treatment. Dr. Juce and Clinic Nurse Pat Beamish administer sessions that last from three seconds to twenty minutes, with patients undergoing up to three treatments weekly. Six patients are currently receiving regular UVB therapy, reflecting the centre’s history of innovative programs and specialized equipment.
