The state of health care in our region is looking pretty good. Last night, West Parry Sound Health Centre CEO Donald Sanderson updated Town council on what has been going on at the hospital over the past year. Sanderson says despite a zero percent increase in funding from the province over the past couple of years, the Health Centre has been able to provide the community with many programs and services.

He also mentioned some good news the Health Centre received recently from the Wait Times Strategy Office of the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care.
