Earlier this week, the Hospitals of Regina Foundation and the Regina Qu'Appelle Health Region announced a major initiative that will significantly improve inpatient therapy for stroke survivors.

The Stroke Care Network of Excellence will include renovations to the Wascana Rehabilitation Centre, and improve communication between specialists in Regina and clinicians in southern Saskatchewan so patients can receive the best care possible closer to their homes.

 

Doctor Vino Padayachee, the Chief of Staff for the Sun Country Health Region, says the Region is applauding the announcement but would also like to see increased education on the signs and prevention of stroke.

 

The donation was provided anonymously on condition that the community raise an additional five-hundred thousand dollars by December 1st.
