Province Commits to Hospice Saint John

Provincial cash and plenty of it was being handed out by the Liberal Government in Saint John yesterday. Premier Graham and Health Minister Schryer announced the Province’s commitment of $730,000 dollars every year as part of the operating cost of Hospice Saint John. Schryer tells CHSJ News, a deal to become partners was solidified last year:

 This facility in West Saint John is the first of it’s kind in Atlantic Canada and Premier Graham tells CHSJ News, this will give patients at their end of their life the dignity they deserve:
Schryer also presented Mindcare with a cheque earlier in the day totalling ten thousand dollars to go toward the 23rd annual Investors Group Skate to Care. The over $142,000 dollars raised will go toward mental health projects around the Province.
