Saskatoon Health Region – Wakaw Hospital
So, the reality is that SEIU-West sent a letter seeking the urgent attention of the Health Minister to keep the Wakaw Hospital open in December of 2010. He replied to that letter two months later and provided great lip service to the newest and the brightest at the provincial Physician Recruitment Agency. Today, our members and the residents of Wakaw (and the surrounding area) did NOT experience the end-product of good work, in terms of retention efforts. Rather, they learned that Wakaw Hospital is closing on April 1st.
Get this, the public announcement letter from Saskatoon Health Region provided today is dated March 23 and comes on letterhead with a logo: Healthiest People – Healthiest Communities – Exceptional Service. What is the message here? Do you really think that the residents of Wakaw (and the surrounding area) feel like they will be getting exceptional service in the future?
