Prairie North addresses flooding impact at Lloydminster hospital
The Prairie North Health Region is assessing repair work at the Lloydminster hospital following flooding last month.
“On June 9 there was what I would consider to be once in a century downpour of rain,” Prairie North Health Region chief executive officer David Fan said. “I think it was estimated that there were three to five inches of rain in a short period of time – about 45 minutes.”
Prairie North finance and operations vice-president Derek Miller discussed the flooding impact to the hospital, which services a large georgraphical area, at the Prairie North Health Region board meeting in North Battleford on June 28.
Following the meeting Fan said currently crews are working to replace the duct system.
