Healthy Preeceville - Repost from 2014

Healthy Preeceville

Mission Statement

Short: “Provide a Healthy Safe Community”

Long: “Identify and encourage Primary Health Care Model initiatives for the Town of Preeceville through facilitation and coordination of people, research and ideas”

"I am committed to having our citizens understand the Health Care System before they have to access it. Our strength as a community is how we provide for our seniors and how we teach our youth balanced with quality of life for the rest of our population. My commitment is to use all of our resources to the maximum in this ever changing world.  I am looking for pilot projects around all the great things we have in this community. World class Hospital, Telehealth, Dr.’s RN’s and paramedical personal.  Add that to the broader teams of health care professionals and I am confident we will meet any challenges before us, ensuring that quality of life we all want. I are not looking for the four Doctor minimum (24-7) model but one that every small town or remote northern area could have. Everything in place, just not manned until needed.  I think we could attain this and become the benchmark for all rural and remote Saskatchewan” Mayor Harris
