The project, by the Municipality of East Hants, will be completed this year with $9,225 from the Office of Healthcare Professionals Recruitment (OHPR) Community Fund. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe information we can provide newcomers helps them settle and manage their lives easier in Nova Scotia, making the transition here even smoother,\u201d said John A. MacDonald, MLA for Hants East,<\/strong> on behalf of Michelle Thompson, Minister responsible for the Office of Healthcare Professionals Recruitment.
In total, 30 organizations across the province will receive support through the OHPR Community Fund this year. More details will be announced soon.
The fund, established in 2022, is an action item in Action for Health, the government\u2019s plan to improve healthcare. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
