Now that 45 beds will be constructed at the Corner Brook Community Health Centre, the next step is to find the staff to work there, providing services for both long term and alternate levels of care. The head of NL Health Services, Dr. Patrick Parfrey was in the city yesterday to make the official announcement and says renovations on the 2nd and 3rd floors should be complete by this summer. Meanwhile, he says the search for an oncologist for the new cancer care unit at Western Memorial Regional Hospital continues. Parfrey says not only is it a highly specialized position, it’s very difficult to recruit. Teara Freake is the Chief Operating Officer and vice-president of the western zone NL Health Services. She says the intention at this point is to focus on the renovations and they maye need to hire agency nurses to help fill the gaps at the Community Centre.
