La Ronge doctor receives award from Canadian Association of Emergency Physicians
Dr. Daniel Irvine recently received the 2024 Emergency Medicine Physician of the Year (Prairies –Rural, Remote, Small Urban) award from the Canadian Association of Emergency Physicians.
Dr. Irvine is a La Ronge resident, graduating high school with the class of 2003, who returned to the community about seven years ago. A family medicine physician first, he spends a lot of time working in the emergency department in the La Ronge Health Centre. The La Ronge Health Centre’s emergency department serves the immediate community’s most seriously ill and injured residents as well as those in surrounding communities as far away as Wollaston Lake – a generous 466 kilometres, or eight-hour car trip, away.
The Saskatchewan Health Authority congratulates Dr. Irvine on his award and for his dedication and advocacy for the best possible care for the residents of northern Saskatchewan.
