Prairie Mountain Health (PMH) has recruited three new nurse practitioners to provide services within the health region.

Two of the three were sponsored students and recent graduates of the Nurse Practitioner (Master of Nursing) Program.

They will be working out of the communities of Melita, Ste. Rose and Winnipegosis.

PMH CEO Penny Gilson says one of their strategic directions and priorities involves continually improving access to care for patients, clients and residents within the health region.

In the PMH region, there are currently 13 full-time and two casual nurse practitioners on staff.
