Four surgeons from Prince Albert will visit Kelsey Trail once a week, on a three-week cycle.  Clinic appointments will be scheduled to follow surgical bookings on each visiting day.

The plan will see an additional 260 orthopaedic surgeries in the two communities.

The CEO of Kelsey Trail Health Region, Glen Kozak, said this arrangement will help them address surgical waitlists.
