Wynyard Hospital is an integrated facility that supports acute, respite, and long-term care. The hospital has 8 beds inside the integrated facility and 57 beds and 2 respite beds in long term care. The hospital has a staff of approximately 100 employees and houses x-ray and lab facilities. Approximately 15 registered nurses work at the hospital and nursing home.
Wynyard’s existing health facilities could accommodate population growth if funding were provided by the provincial government. Currently funding comes from the ministry of health. Doctors are incorporated and are not on salary; overhead charges for each doctor are used to fund the clinic. Funding for doctors would be lacking if not for the ministry of health funding. The clinic would run a deficit if it were not funded by the provincial government.
