New Neo Kids

By Nick Liard

The North East Local Health Integration Network is supporting the proposed NEO Kids facility.

When the expansion at Health Sciences North was first proposed the LHIN wanted more information,but they’re now happy with the business case for the Children’s Health Care facility..

Board Chair Danielle Bélanger-Corbin says they passed a motion of support this week.

With the letter of support in their back pocket,  H-S-N will now look to the Ministry of Health’s Capital Infrastructure Branch for partial funding of the $50 million project.

Last year children and families across the Northeast have to make 10,000 trips to Toronto, Ottawa and London to get the care they needed.
