After Dec. 10, Iqaluit residents will have to hike all the way out to building 1091 to receive public health services. Building 155 in Iqaluit, which for decades served as a community public health centre, now lies empty and unused. The Iqaluit Public Health and Family Practice will close Dec. 6 and Dec. 7 to prepare for the move. Public health services, including flu shots, tuberculosis programs, sexual health clinics, well child appointments, and nurse practitioner appointments will resume Dec. 10 at building 1091. The GN spokesperson said the health department will hold a press event Dec. 3 to explain a series of service
relocations that will occur in Iqaluit due to renovations at the old Baffin Regional Hospital building. (PHOTO BY JIM BELL)
