Contracting out:. NL Health Services plans to hire a private cleaning company on a short-term contract for one of its facilities in Corner Brook

There's a big move happening, starting Wednesday for the regional hospital in Corner Brook, as many staff and services move to a brand new facility over a 10-day move-in period. When the NEW Western Memorial Regional Hospital opens to patients on June 2, there won't be enough housekeeping staff to go around. That's led to a plan to hire a private cleaning company on a short-term basis for what will be the OLD hospital. That building will continue to operate as a health clinic for services such as public health, audiology, and speech language pathology. Laeora Ryba is director of support services for the Western zone of NL Health Services. Melanie Clarke is human resources lead for the Western zone of NL Health Services.
