Frequently Asked Questions

Does Sioux Lookout Meno Ya Win Health Centre offer traditional Indigenous healing alongside emergency care?
Yes. SLMHC operates a Traditional Healing, Medicines, Foods and Supports Program (THMFS) that provides an integrated model of First Nations hospital-based care. Patients and families can choose to integrate traditional and modern medicines and practices as part of their care journey, including during and after an emergency department visit.
How do patients from remote northern communities reach SLMHC's Emergency Department?
SLMHC serves 28 First Nations communities across a vast service area in Northwestern Ontario. Many patients from remote communities are transported by air from local nursing stations to Sioux Lookout. Between 60 and 65 percent of the hospital's workload originates from northern communities, and air transport arrangements are typically coordinated through local nursing stations.
Is the Emergency Department at SLMHC covered by OHIP?
Most emergency and hospital services at SLMHC are covered by OHIP. You are required to present a valid Ontario Health Insurance (OHIP) card upon arrival.
