Health-care tower with new Pan Am clinic part of the radical makeover slated for Portage Place
A 15-storey health-care tower with a primary-care clinic, an after-hours walk-in clinic and a satellite facility for the Pan Am Clinic are part of a roughly $550-million plan to redevelop downtown Winnipeg’s Portage Place mall.

“We’re going to shorten the list, we’re going to give people the care they need in a rapid…
