Yukon Party's strategy to improve Yukon health care

As Yukoners know, we don't have enough health care professionals in the Territory. The Yukon Party has a 6 point plan to rectify this problem. The $$$ for this Strategy results from the cooperation among the 3 northern territories.

To quote Premier Fentie, "The funding for these initiatives comes from the Territorial Health Access Fund. If you recall, this fund came about as a result of the three northern Premiers walking out on Prime Minister Chrétien back in 2003 to emphasize the fact that federal per capita funding for health care North of 60 simply doesn't work because of large land areas and small populations. We are now dedicating $12.7 million of the THA towards the recruitment and retention of doctors and other health care professionals."

In a nutshell, these strategies are:
Family Physician Incentive Program for New Graduates.
Medical Education Bursary.
Nursing Education Bursary.
Health Professions Education Bursary.
Nurse Mentoring Program.
Social Worker Mentoring Program.

Your Blogress notes that the most important word in the Yukon Party's dictionary is "cooperation."
