Kindersley’s oncology centre’s renovations are completed
KINDERSLEY - The Kindersley Community Oncology Program of Saskatchewan (COPS) Centre recently completed an extensive renovation, including improvements to the pharmacy and patient treatment area.
A generous bequest from Donnie Donald of Brock, Sask., made the Kindersley Pharmacy Project and District Health Centre possible. In collaboration with the Kindersley and District Health and Wellness Foundation, the Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) allocated a portion of the bequest to renovate and install state-of-the-art pharmacy equipment. The new equipment will assist in preparing medications for patients of the COPS program.
The treatment administration area was also renovated, providing patients ample bright space. It includes three chairs, one bed, and a TV for personal viewing during treatments.
Kindersley is one of 16 COPS centres in Saskatchewan. The partnership between the SHA and the SCA in delivering COPS is a vital commitment to the community. Between 2023 and 2024, the program in Kindersley recorded 427 visits and saved more than 5.5 million kilometres of patient travel.
