Ile à la Crosse Region
On a paved highway just 275 km from Meadow Lake, Ile à la Crosse
is situated in a picturesque lake region. Fishing, trapping, logging and
mining flourish around the major centres of Ile à la Crosse, Beauval,
Buffalo Narrows and La Loche.
Northern Medical Services maintains a six-physician group in Ile à
la Crosse which provides services to nearly 5,000 people.
Health care facilities at Ile à la Crosse have recently moved to the new Integrated Services Center which is a joint health and education facility. Regular clinics are
scheduled at Patuanak, Buffalo Narrows, Dillon, and Beauval. These are accessible
by both road and air.
The health facility includes an 11-bed hospital, a 17-bed, long-term care wing, a family healing centre, an emergency department, radiology and labs. Meeting rooms, day care, public health and mental health services, adult education, community recreation and space for community elders and spiritual counselling are among the many features of the unique facility.
