This critical space would not have been possible without Algoma Steel’s generous support, and will help facilitate healing and further enhance the quality of care available to the residents of the facility. “Our team at Algoma is proud to support the Sault Area Hospital in their construction of a Residential Withdrawal Management Facility.

Our shared goal is to build a stronger, healthier community in partnership with those that can help meet that goal.” “On behalf of the Sault Area Hospital, our patients, and...
