The goal is to once again have 20 beds available after reviewing staffing levels.

To entice employers to work in Shellbrook, changes are coming to their incentive program for rural nurses and temporary positions.

“The health region is committed to reopening all inpatient beds once we’re able to ensure stable staffing levels are adequate to provide safe patient care,” Gregoryk said.
