The Centre serves the population of southern Saskatchewan.

The Centre became part of the Regina Health District in 1994 and a facility of the Regina Qu’Appelle Health Region in 2002. It currently has a total of 307 beds – 43 for rehabilitation inpatients, 205 beds for specialized long-term care clients, five children’s beds and 54 beds for clients placed through Veterans Affairs Canada.

Wascana has partnered with IICSI’s Regina site on a number of creative and productive research projects, exploring subjects including the therapeutic use of iPads for music-making and the health impacts of participation in improvisational practices. Amanda Schenstead, a music therapist at Wascana, and Rick Kotowich, a health educator with Regina Qu’Appelle Health Region Native Health Services, have both made significant contributions to IICSI events across sites, presenting their processes, outcomes, and insights to a diverse group of colleagues and audience members.
