Wildfire Updates

To the families and communities affected: please know that your loved ones are in capable, caring hands. Our thoughts are with you all during this extremely difficult time and we are here to support you.

Clients relocated to PMH facilities

To prioritize the safety and continued care of our patients, Northern Health Region has made the decision to proactively relocate higher acuity patients out of the community of Flin Flon.

Some of these patients have been relocated to facilities within the Prairie Mountain Health region. The safety and well-being of all patients and healthcare teams remains our highest priority.

Staff of Northern Health Region will keep patients and long-term care residents, and their loved ones, informed about the transfer location and care throughout this process.
