The province says a new minor injury and illness clinic slated for Brandon will be the first of many.
It says the clinic is part of a 17-million-dollar plan to open similar ones across Manitoba and reduce pressure on hospital emergency departments.
The Brandon clinic will be staffed by physicians, nurse practitioners, and nurses, and operate 12 hours a day, every day.
The New Democrats promised during last year's election campaign to open clinics, hire more health-care workers and reduce wait times
