    The discovery of 27 cases of #scurvy in a northern #Saskatchewan community is raising concerns about #GroceryPrices and access to fresh food as #IncomeInequality worsens.

    Earlier this year, a doctor in #LaRonge had a hunch that a patient was suffering from scurvy, a #disease caused by #VitaminC deficiency. The test came back positive and it raised questions about the prevalence of scurvy in the community.

    The #LacLaRongeIndianBand partnered with Dr. Jeff Irvine and the Northern InterTribal #Health Authority to investigate. Irvine is a physician in La Ronge and works with Northern #Medical Services, an off-shoot of the University of Saskatchewan college of #medicine.
