A generous donation of $1 million will see the establishment of the Stroke Care Network of Excellence, providing stroke survivors in southern Saskatchewan with significant improvements in inpatient therapy.

The key stages of the initiative includes renovations to the Wascana Rehabilitation Centre, and improved access to specialists in Regina through TeleHealth.

However, Doctor Vino Padayachee, the Chief of Staff for the Sun Country Health Region, says he would also like to see increased education on the signs and prevention of stroke.

The donation was provided anonymously on condition that the community raise an additional five-hundred thousand dollars by December 1st.
