Kenora Rainy River Regional Laboratory Partners with UHN!
Providing the highest levels of service to our patients
The Kenora Rainy River Regional Laboratory Program (KRRRLP) is now part of UHN's LMP extended family. The six member hospitals within KRRRLP are located in Kenora, Dryden, Atikokan, Fort Francis, Sioux Lookout, and Rainy River. This hospital network performs routine laboratory testing and monitoring, that the KRRRLP-UHN LMP partnership are working together to revitalize and are ensure complete service continuity. As a result of our new partnership to develop a proof of concept operating model, this northern catchment area will have access to UHN’s gold standard lab services with UHN LMP as a leading program in Canada.
Additionally, this partnership will enhance the service in the Indigenous populations and honour the commitment to improve the health status and support the unique needs of the underserviced Northwest region.
