Possible closure looms as X Ray surveys cut occupancy
The HERALD reports low hospital occupancy in Clearwater Lake Hospital northern Manitoba and Arctic areas. A Monday meeting will discuss expanding chronic care at Clearwater Lake or constructing a 20 to 30 bed extended care center at St Anthony's Hospital with 1966 construction under consideration. Most infirm patients may move to St Pauls Residence in The Pas, reducing hospital impact on the local economy.
