Our Story

About SLRPSI

Connecting Physicians
with the North

Sioux Lookout Regional Physicians' Services Inc. (SLRPSI) was created to provide innovative, patient-focused physician services in the Sioux Lookout area. Our organization was founded with the aim of governing and managing physician services within the region, and our commitment to that remains strong. In October of 2010 an agreement was signed with the Minister of Health and Long-Term Care, providing a new funding structure for the area’s physicians.

While working under SLRPSI, physicians will have the flexibility to work in a variety of settings, including emergency room, hospitalist, clinic, remote First Nation communities, and more.

The Sioux Lookout First Nations Health Authority (SLFNHA) provides administration and management support to SLRPSI.

Sioux Lookout Regional Physicians' Services Inc. is committed to ensuring our students, residents, and physicians have a meaningful and instructive work experience. We offer a work environment that is supportive and collaborative, and it shows in the satisfaction level of our physicians.
