Northern Ambassador Award

Sioux Lookout First Nations Health Authority (SLFNHA), Sioux Lookout Meno Ya Win Health Centre (SLMHC), and University Health Network (UHN) are proud to formalize a collaborative partnership to enhance cardiovascular care for First Nations communities in the Sioux Lookout region.

In consultation with public health authorities, the Influenza outbreak on the Nursing floor at Sioux Lookout Meno Ya Win Health Centre (SLMHC) has been declared over as of midnight April 22, 2026.

For the safety of our patients, families, and staff, an influenza outbreak has been declared on the nursing floor. We are taking enhanced infection prevention and control precautions to help reduce the spread of illness.

Rather than relying solely on external recruitment, often unpredictable and short-lived in rural settings, we chose to invest in our community and build sustainable career pathways from within. Learn more about our laboratory onboarding program!

Earlier this week, we provided a notice to patients on the health and safety of patient rooms. We have seen and heard community concerns, and we want to take this opportunity to share more info on how acute care and long-term care are operated at SLMHC. The health and safety of our patients remains our top priority! Click here to read more.
