The Province will spend $445,000 at the North Bay Regional Health Centre to immediately address the increased demand for services to support specialized care for children and youth diagnosed with eating disorders says Nipissing MPP Vic Fedeli.
“This investment will help to protect our progress in our fight against COVID-19 by ensuring our local children, youth, and families have better access to the immediate, life-saving services they need, when and where they need them,” said Fedeli.
This funding will support 14 additional inpatient surge beds as well as 10 additional day treatment spaces to help patients with eating disorders more successfully transition from inpatient care to community care, ensuring that children and youth receive high-quality care in the right settings,says a news release.
