The regional health authority is getting a financial boost to help it coordinate better seniors care.  

Thunder Bay MPP Bill Mauro announced  $4.4M in support for the Northwest LHIN.

The money will be used to support home care for more seniors.

Mauro hopes it will help to ease overcrowding at local hospitals.

Fourteen different agencies will be receiving the money including 4 in the Kenora District.
