To reduce the surgical backlog, the province reached deals with two private providers - Cambie Surgery Centre in Vancouver and Clearpoint Don Mills in Toronto and is working on a third agreement that expands the type of procedures Manitobans can receive at the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio. These three centres will offer foot, ankle and shoulder surgeries free of charge to patients. Cambie and Clearpoint are expected to complete 200 procedures in each of the next two years, while 150 surgeries could be done in Cleveland, a clinic which the province also contracted with last year to provide hip and knee replacement surgery.
