For the first time in a long time, our operating room team at the Yorkton Regional Health Centre was comprised entirely of women — from our surgeon and anesthetists to our surgical assist, RNs, LPNs, and Unit Clerk.

This moment is a powerful reminder of how far women have come in health care and leadership. Today, we celebrate the skill, dedication and professionalism each of these team members brings to patient care every single day.

Here’s to progress, representation, and the incredible women who continue to shape the future of medicine.

Assiniboia joins 29 other communities using Saskatchewan Health Authority’s (SHA’s) virtual physician program, which helps maintain access to emergency room services at the Assiniboia Union Hospital.

The virtual physician program is an interim measure that helps sustain and support access to emergency health services while work continues to recruit physicians to rural and remote locations across Saskatchewan. As part of the provincial government’s Health Human Resource (HHR) Action Plan, recruitment and retention of health-care professionals remains a priority for the SHA and Government of Saskatchewan.

With recruitment efforts to fill provider vacancies in Assiniboia underway, HealthLine 811 technology enables emergency department physicians to remotely support the local health-care team in safely addressing emergent patient needs when local physicians are temporarily unavailable.

When rural facilities are using the virtual physician program, the emergency department functions the same. Patients are still initially assessed and triaged by an on-site registered nurse (RN) who uses technology to consult the physician by phone or video. Working with the on-site health-care team, the physician remotely assesses the patient to provide direction on the appropriate care required to safely and effectively treat their current condition.

Assiniboia is the 30th location to implement the virtual physician program since it was first introduced in August 2023, successfully supporting local health-care teams in maintaining ongoing access to emergency department services when needed. As of February 21, 2026, the virtual physician program has helped avoid 5,507 potential service disruptions across the province.

Individuals requiring emergency services should call 9-1-1. Non-urgent health-related questions may be directed to the 24/7 HealthLine service by calling 8-1-1.

The Saskatchewan Hospital in North Battleford hosted a visit that gave patients the opportunity to meet their idols and take part in a positive, engaging activity.

The Battlefords North Stars were welcomed on Feb. 4 for a brief tour of the hospital and a floor hockey game with several patients.

Events like this help foster connection and play an important role in reducing the stigma associated with mental illness.

The North Stars were gracious and inclusive in their interactions, promoting physical health, resilience, and teamwork throughout the day. Thank you to the North Stars for spending time with patients and making a meaningful difference in their day.
