Fifty thousand dollars just got added to the funding pool created for the Sioux Lookout Meno Ya Win Health Centre and its need for a CT scanner.
Chief Clifford Bull of Lac Seul First Nation presented the cheque to Wasaya’s Tom Kamenawatamin Aug. 5.
Kamenawatamin and a Meno Ya Win board member are leading the $1.85-million quest to pay for the CT scanner.
“We are so happy to have Chief Bull and the people of Lac Seul join us in making the CT scanner a reality. Lac Seul is setting a great example and we hope now to hear from other communities,” said Stanley Sainnawap, CT scanner community fundraising liaison for Wasaya Group.
The CT scanner will provide local diagnosis and treatment of for conditions that are often missed and that require challenging travel.
