Prince Edward Island's Minister of Health and Wellness, Doug Currie, announced the Province's donation of $165,000 to the Community Hospital O'Leary equipment fund.

"Community Hospital O'Leary plays an integral role in our health-care system providing extended care support to Islanders who still need hospital care after surgery or illness, as well as palliative care," said Currie.

In 2010, the provincial government invested approximately $3 million in the 14,700 square foot O'Leary health centre.

The centre houses 16 exam rooms, an ambulatory care room, and offices and meeting rooms for physicians, nurses and staff. Services include walk-in, ambulatory care, diabetes programs and community mental health programs.
