A joint proposal by the University of Guelph’s School of Environmental Design and Rural Development in collaboration with Laurentian University’s Centre for Rural and Northern Health Research is now being implemented. This will begin the evaluation work for the KO Telehealth expansion project into all the First Nations across the Sioux Lookout Health Zone.
A video conference meeting on April 1 brought together project members from Balmertown, Sioux Lookout, Guelph and Sudbury as another step in completing the proposal. An evaluation committee with representatives from all the partner groups is now being developed. Please contact Kevin Houghton, KO Telehealth Project Manager (kevinhoughton@knet.ca) for more information.
