LHIN Funding For Withdrawl Center

The North West Local Health Integration Network is providing more funding for health care in Northwestern Ontario.
More then 988 thousand dollars will go to increase crisis withdrawal and stabilization services at St. Joseph’s Care Group’s Balmoral Withdrawal Management Center in Thunder Bay.
The center will be converted from a level-two facility with seven beds to a level-three facility with 22 beds and will include 24 hour nursing support.
In addition, the center will expand its telemedicine outreach to those who are unable to travel to Thunder Bay.
