The Rainy River Medical Centre is getting some new telemedicine equipment.
The North West Local Health Integration Network is providing Riverside Health Care Facilities with nearly $12,000 to purchase and install the equipment.
Andy Gallardi, a senior director with LHIN, says patients in Rainy River will have easier access to specialists.
"It will be used for cardiac rehab, chronic disease prevention management, oncology, and pain management," says Gallardi.
The Rainy River hospital joins almost 190 existing sites already using telemedicine.
