The Sioux Lookout Meno Ya Win Health Centre has the opportunity to further its vision of being a Centre of Excellence in First Nations and northern health care.
The SLMHC has been recognized as a pre-designate Best Practice Spotlight Organization through the Registered Nurses Association of Ontario.
For the next three years, SLMHC will participate in a robust work plan to reach designation and provide quality, evidence-based care.
Director of Patient Experience and program lead Sue Anderson says patients and families can expect to see improved engagement by implementing best practice guidelines into their policies.
Anderson adds the SLMHC aims to improve health care of everyone they serve now and for the generations to come.
This is Sioux Lookout’s second pre-designation, with the William A. George Extended Care Facility receiving its status in 2016 and designation in 2019.
Updates will be posted in the years to come on the hospitals website.
