## Resource

Southern Alberta just got a game-changing boost for kidney care: Lethbridge’s Chinook Regional Hospital now boasts a brand-new hemodialysis lab, expanded from 24 to 30 stations—plus big windows, overnight treatment options, and home-care support—all thanks to a $23.4 million provincial investment. This isn’t just about more chairs; it’s about dignity, flexibility, and reclaiming normalcy for patients who spend hours in treatment. With more upgrades on the way for Taber, Cardston, and Lethbridge’s cardiac care, the region is proving healthcare doesn’t have to be a long commute.
