No changes to services at Selkirk Regional Health Centre
On May 28, the Health, Seniors and Long-Term Care Minister Uzoma Asagwara announced that our region is now home to a new Dynacare laboratory at the Interlake-Eastern Health Services building. This addition intends to provide improved access to laboratory and diagnostic services.
“Improving access to care closer to home means making it easier for Manitobans to get the services they need in their communities,” said Asagwara in a release from the province. “This new laboratory in Selkirk will help connect more patients and families in the Interlake-Eastern region to important diagnostic services in a convenient community setting.”
The new lab opened on May 21 at 100 Easton Dr. in Selkirk, which is just next to the Selkirk Regional Health Centre.
The site will now offer blood and urine collection services, Harmony non-invasive prenatal testing and glucose tolerance testing.
Shared Health Diagnostic Services will continue to provide laboratory services for patients at Selkirk Regional Health Centre.
This new lab is a collaborative effort by the Manitoba government, Dynacare, Shared Health and the Interlake-Eastern Regional Health Authority. It will be open Monday to Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.
