Administrative history
The Mackenzie Regional Health Service (MRHS) was a health organization created in 1988, providing public health services to Northwest Territories residents in the Deh Cho, North Slave, Tlicho and South Slave regions. Health units operating under the Service included the Fort Providence health centre, Fort Liard health centre, Fort Wrigley health centre, Fort Simpson hospital, Fort Simpson public health clinic, Hay River Public health unit, Fort Resolution health centre, Lac La Martre (Wha Ti) health centre, Rae Lakes (Gameti) health centre, Snowdrift (Lutsel K'e) health centre, Yellowknife Public Health unit and the Rae-Edzo (Behchoko) health centre, as well as lay dispensers in Trout Lake, Nahanni Butte, Kakisa, Jean Marie River, and Dettah. Headquartered in Yellowknife, the Service was enacted with a board governance model, however it was only ever managed by a public administrator as trustee. It reported to the Territorial Hospital Insurance Services (THIS) Board on matters of funding and service delivery, and received administrative and coordinating support from the Department of Health.
Reporting to the Public Administrator, the MRHS was led by an Executive Director. Divisions included Finance and Administration, Personnel Services, Nursing Administration (regional health services), Medical Travel, and Environmental Health.
The Mackenzie Regional Health Service was discontinued as an organization with changes to the Territorial Hospital Insurance Services Act and the Medical Care Act, and the creation of the Department of Health and Social Services in 1997. New regional health boards and authorities, including the Deh Cho Health and Social Services Authority (DHSSA), the Yellowknife Health and Social Services Authority (YHSSA), and the Deninu Community Health and Social Services Board assumed management of health units previously under the MRHS.
