A rural B.C. organization is calling for more supports in the healthcare sector as services continue to be removed and reduced, and staffing challenges intensify.
The BC Rural Health Network (BCRHN) says they are overwhelmed with public complaints, concerns and reports of serious health impacts that the reduction of services has created.
“The healthcare crisis in rural B.C. has become a significant safety concern,” the organization said in a press release. “Every day, rural residents’ wellbeing is being affected.”
