Update on Primary Health Centre Locations in Warman and Martensville

by Shanine Sealey

In August of 2023, the Government of Saskatchewan announced that they would be expanding access to primary health cares services within Warman with the addition of a Primary Health Centre. It was also announced earlier this year that another Primary Health Centre would be included in Martensville as part of the pilot program through the Saskatchewan Health Authority.


Health care services within these clinics will be provided by a team of nurse practitioners, who will offer services such as:
• general health assessments, physical examinations and ordering of diagnostic tests;
• diagnosis and treatment of common acute illnesses and injuries;
• chronic disease management, including diabetes, hypertension and asthma;
• immunizations and vaccinations for both children and adults;
• prescribing medications and prescription renewals;
• women’s health services, including exams and family planning;
• health promotion and disease prevention counseling;
• mental health support and counselling;
• referrals to specialists and other healthcare providers.


Outgoing Martensville-Warman MLA Terry Jenson shared an update via social media on Friday, September 27th stating that he was provided with information from the SHA and the Ministry of Health regarding the Martensville and Warman Primary Care Clinics.


Jenson noted that the first nurse practitioner (NP) position in Warman has been filled and the second NP position started on September 23rd, which is a term position to cover the incumbent’s maternity leave. The third NP position in Warman has been filled by a grad NP and is scheduled to begin October 15th. One Medical Office Assistant position in Warman is filled, with the second MOA posting now closed and SHA working through the interview process.


The first NP that was hired for Martensville is currently working in Warman, due to the Martensville clinic not having enough support staff to safely open. The second Martensville NP position was posted and now closed, with SHA working through the list of applicants. The third NP position remains vacant and the SHA is working through applications.


The first MOA position in Martensville has been filled, with a start date of October 14th and HR is working through application for a second MOA.


“Please note the Primary Care Clinics are not walk-in clinics. The purpose of the clinics are to provide patients with services that align with family physicians by appointment only,” outgoing Martensville-Warman MLA Terry Jenson stated in the September 27th update.
