The Saulteaux Pelly Agency Health Alliance broke ground today (Mon) on a new multi-purpose health care facility on the Keeseekoose First Nation.

The SPAHA facility will provide a full suite of services, including public health programming, palliative care, long-term care and mental health services, as well as host the Keeseekoose First Nation Community Health Centre, all for the communities of Cote First Nation, Keeseekoose First Nation, and The Key First Nation.

The facility is the result of a collaboration between the Saulteaux Pelly Agency Health Alliance Inc., the Saskatchewan Ministry of Health, and Indigenous Services Canada.

Construction is expected to take up to 24 months to complete.
