Residents of Yorkton and surrounding communities are benefiting from improved access to specialized cardiac care with the opening of a new Heart Function Clinic operated by the Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA).
The clinic provides comprehensive outpatient services for patients living with heart failure and other complex cardiac conditions, allowing more people to receive specialized care closer to home while reducing the need to travel to larger centres.
The opening of the new Heart Function Clinic in Yorkton reflects our government’s commitment to putting patients first, Health Minister Jeremy Cockrill said. By connecting patients with expert cardiac care in their own community, we are improving access by ensuring the right care is available in the right place, at the right time.
Heart failure is one of the leading causes of hospitalization among older adults and requires ongoing monitoring and care. Through early intervention and specialized support, the clinic helps patients better manage their condition, improve their quality of life and reduce avoidable hospital admissions.
Living with heart failure can be complex, and patients often require support from multiple health care providers, Saskatchewan Health Authority Vice President of Integrated Rural Health Brenda Schwan said. This clinic expands access to specialized services in one location, reduces the burden of travel and creates a more coordinated experience for patients to access the care they need, closer to home.
The clinic serves patients from Yorkton and communities across east-central Saskatchewan and is staffed by family physicians, a registered nurse, pharmacist and administrative assistant. Patients can access services through referrals from physicians, nurse practitioners and other health care providers.
Appointments are being offered twice per month, with support available Monday to Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. for coordination and follow-up.
