Exploring Moose Jaw: Health Initiatives for a Brighter Future
Hey there! Exciting news from Moose Jaw as the Rural and Remote Health Minister, Lori Carr, embarks on a journey to meet community members, health care providers, and seniors' groups. She’s eager to connect with everyone and understand what’s working and what can be improved in the health system.
Thanks to Saskatchewan's Health Human Resource Action Plan, Moose Jaw has welcomed 21 new health care professionals recently. This boost is all about making sure residents have top-notch health care options right at their doorstep.
But that's not all! Moose Jaw is home to HOMEBASE, an innovative youth services hub that supports young people aged 12 to 25. With a fantastic $4.5 million investment, this initiative ensures youth have access to vital resources at their fingertips.
This year, Moose Jaw is also expanding access to free counseling for children, youth, and their caregivers. The provincial government has allocated $1.8 million for the Rapid Access Counselling Program. This means more support for challenges like stress, depression, and family conflicts.
Lastly, let's not forget Moose Jaw’s designation as an Age-Friendly Community! The city is committed to creating welcoming and inclusive spaces for seniors, ensuring everyone in the community feels valued and supported.
Stay tuned for more updates and let's cheer for Moose Jaw’s commitment to health and community!
