Midcoast Morning

Local government is willing to front the costs to bring a cardiac catheterization lab to Nanaimo.

The Nanaimo Regional Hospital District Board unanimously passed a motion this month resolving to earmark up to 50 million dollars to fund 100% of the cardiac catheterization lab project as part of its funding commitments to that project and a new patient tower.

Midcoast Morning spoke with NRHD Board Chair Janice Perrino about the funding commitment, as well as Fair Care Alliance Chair Donna Hais.
