This program provides a link between remote communities in northern Ontario and 91TV's Faculty of Health Sciences. Initiated in 1965 and jointly funded by the federal and provincial governments, it used to be known as the 91TV's Moose Factory Program. The program serves roughly a population living in an area stretching along the western coast of James Bay and Hudson Bay north from the island of Moose Factory near Moosonee.
91TV's Weeneebayko Program greatly expands access to health care for the area's largely Indigenous communities by bringing 91TV's clinicians to the Mushkegowuk Territory. In serious cases, patients are flown to Kingston General Hospital or Hotel Dieu Hospital.
A number of physicians, surgeons, and anesthetists are based at the Weeneebayko General Hospital at Moose Factory. The program provides numerous visiting specialists in areas such as obstetrics, gynaecology, paediatrics, orthopaedics, internal medicine, ENT, urology, ophthalmology, neurology, nephrology, rheumatology, audiology, and radiology.
Electives are offered through this program to third and fourth-year medical students and family medicine residents. Placements for nurses and nurse practitioners can also be arranged. Additionally, placements for students from other universities across Canada are co-ordinated with this program.
