LA LOCHE REGION
La Loche is northern Saskatchewan's second largest community and is located 650 kms northeast of Saskatoon. The lush valleys of the nearby historic Clearwater and the Garson Rivers, and Lake La Loche have an abundant variety of fish and game. In the past few decades, and by sheer force of its cultural and economic geography, this friendly community has become a thriving center with modern medical facilities and excellent schools.
Northern Medical Services has contracts for six self-employed physicians who provide 26 weeks of itinerant service per year on a rotational basis (one-week in/one-week out, or two and two) to approximately 3,000 people in the area.
The Health Facility consists of a clinic, emergency room with four hold-over beds, in-patient ward with nine beds, long-term care facility and family healing unit with four beds.
