Saskatchewan Health Authority
On December 4, 2017, the Saskatchewan Health Authority was launched. This transitioned the former 12 Regional Health Authorities to a single provincial health authority.
The Saskatchewan Health Authority is the largest organization in Saskatchewan, employing over 44,000 employees and physicians responsible for the delivery of high quality and timely health care for the entire province.
They are driven by the commitment to improve frontline patient care for Saskatchewan people, and we are working together to better coordinate health services across the province to ensure patients receive high quality, timely health care, wherever they live in Saskatchewan.
Establishing one provincial approach to plan and deliver health-care services will break down geographic boundaries and service silos, to provide more consistent and coordinated health-care services across the province.
The work to unify the health system under a single organization and coordinate system-wide transformation, for the benefit of people working in the system and those that use it, will be a multi-year journey in collaboration with patients, health-care providers and partners across the health system.
Santa Maria works in cooperation with the Saskatchewan Health Authority and has an agreement to provide Long Term Care services as set out in a Principles and Services Agreement with the Saskatchewan Health Authority.
