Thunder Bay’s Health Unit is seeing an increase in funding for their 2018-2019 budget.
Medical Officer of Health Janet DeMille tells us they are relieved to see more money in the part of their budget that’s shared by the province and area communities.
“That will take some of the pressure off of us, since we haven’t had an increase in about four years.”
The province recently provided them with almost $12.5 million for their base funding.
The Health Unit also received around another $4 million from provincial sources, but there was no increase to that portion of the budget. (File Photo)
