Accommodation :
Manitoulin Health Centre (MHC) owns a duplex on Meredith Street (beside the LC Site of the hospital). The back half of this duplex has been renovated to create three separate, locked sleeping rooms with a common living area. NOSM learners (but not CCC students) use this facility. Lori Mastelko at MHC does the booking of the bedrooms for learners and provides confirmation to NOSM, the accounts receivable department and sometimes learners directly. The nursing floor at MHC signs out the bedroom keys and provides the code for the main door of the house as most learners arrive on weekends or after hours.
