Prairie Mountain Health (PMH) continues to support efforts to enhance access to physician and primary care services in the region. The region already has strong partnerships with two Residency Programs  (Brandon Satellite Campus and Parkland Family Medicine Residency Unit, based in Dauphin) and in early July, a third program got underway in Neepawa.

The two-year Residency Program, with two Year 1 Residents, is under the guidance of Dr. Brian Milligan of the Beautiful Plains Medical Clinic. Jenna Kilburn is the program administrator at the Neepawa site. The Residency Program is funded by the University of Manitoba, Rady Faculty of Health Sciences. Besides their home base in Neepawa, the residents will also do rotations at other regional and provincial sites.

PMH is excited about the possibilities going forward. The community of Neepawa and surrounding area is growing and the new hospital under construction is slated to be completed in the summer of 2026.

“This provides exceptional opportunities for physicians to train in a rural setting and the potential to further increase the number of physicians who remain to practice in our rural communities, like Neepawa,” stated Treena Slate, CEO of PMH.
