"The West Region Treaty 2 & 4 Health Services Board of Directors, Executive Director and Staff wish everyone all the best in 2023! "
On October 21st, 2022, the West Region Treaty 2 & 4 Health Services Nursing Department, along with the Executive Director and the Mental Wellness Team Coordinator, had the pleasure of meeting and presenting to a team of Resident Doctors from the University of Manitoba. An overview of our nursing services department, program and service constraints, barriers to adequate health care for those living on-reserve and gaps in accessing health care services were identified and discussed. The meeting was informative and well received by all in attendance. It was fulfilling knowing our Nursing Department was able to advocate for our community members and to provide a realistic, all-encompassing picture of Health Care Programming and Services in our communities to those resident Doctors before they leave to practice on their own. All in attendance agreed that there is a need for these meetings to continue on a regular basis to establish partnerships, provide education and form positive working relationships moving forward. Thank you to Prairie Mountain Health for the invitation to meet and present. We are grateful to be provided with the opportunity to advocate for our people to this wonderful group of resident Doctors.”
