NORTH BAY – Vic Fedeli, MPP for Nipissing announced an increase of $259,311 in Base Funding for the Mattawa General Hospital. This is a permanent increase in funding to relieve the hospital’s financial pressures.

“We are pleased with the recent announcement which will greatly support our unprecedented deficit position. We look forward to working with the Ministry and MPP Fedeli to ensure equitable health care in Nipissing District,” says Tanya Bélanger, Mattawa General Hospital President and CEO.
