IWK & South Shore Health Form New Partnership

IWK surgeons will perform routine procedures in Bridgewater under a new partnership with South Shore Health. The surgeries will be conducted once a month and will eliminate the need for families to travel to Halifax for smaller procedures on the ear, nose and throat. South Shore Health CEO Peter Vaughan called it an innovative and cost effective approach to health service delivery. He says the partnership will bring the expertise of IWK surgeons much closer to home for residents of south western Nova Scotia. The surgeries are being held on Friday's and booked through the South Shore Regional Hospital.
