A Port in The Storm is a nonprofit organization that helps northern families facing a medical situation.  Their Executive Director Stacey Grocholski is visiting Flin Flon and says they offer a safe and supportive place to stay for families receiving medical treatment in Winnipeg.  She explains its 58 dollars a night for self pay and if you have insurance its 75 dollars a night noting it’s not a hotel room, it’s a fully furnished suite so you have your bedroom, you have a bathroom, dining room, kitchen in a beautiful setting and they’re eight minutes from the hospital.  She says they also run programs like a dinner night and they have an expressive art therapy program so they really try to make it a place to call home and a home away from home for people that are coming to Winnipeg.

Grocholski adds you need a medical reference for your first stay so you can get more information from your medical professional or visit their website www.aportinthestorm.ca or call them at 204-231-0720.
