$230,000 from the Northeast LHIN is going to the Physically Handicapped Adult Rehabilitation Association. PHARA will be able to set up two additional beds at their facility on Oakwood Avenue thanks to the money.
North Bay Regional Health Centre President, Paul Heinrich says 15 per cent of the beds at hospitals now are essentially long term care patients who don’t have a place to go. The new beds will help those who require extra care as they move from the hospital to a long-term care home.
