Healthcare
Herbert has excellent health care facilities including an integrated health facility offering acute and long term care, home care office and staff, medical clinic, seniors home, and a group home. Two local pharmacies serve the community. In case of emergencies, Herbert is part of the Prince Albert 9-1-1 coverage area.
Healthcare facilities in Herbert have undergone major changes. The new Herbert and District Integrated Health Facility, finished in 2006, will provide acute care (8 beds), diagnostics, home care, administration, emergency, and long term care (39 long term care beds and 1 respite bed). This change will result in a more economical and efficient operation of healthcare in Herbert and provide a more stable, sustainable service for the residents of the district.
Dr. Kassett is the former Chief Medical Officer of the Rolling Hills Health District - now the Cypress Health Region, which includes Herbert, and has operated his medical practice - Herbert Medical Clinic since 1985.
