Community members voice concerns over palliative care wing closure
MEDICINE HAT, AB – Questions over end of life treatment in Medicine Hat dominated Monday’s meeting of the Palliser Health Triangle Advisory Council.
Members of the public were invited to share their opinions on the pending closure of the palliative care unit at the Medicine Hat Regional Hospital, otherwise known as Ward Six West.
Announced in late October, a dozen beds at the facility will be closed with patients being transferred to the Carmel Hospice at St. Joseph’s Home.
