Whoever said an apple a day keeps the doctor away hadn’t met Johnny Chang.
The family physician says the proverbial fruit, which he snacked on during an impromptu gathering with Creston’s doctors while on a 2020 recruitment trip, was part of what convinced him to relocate to the town of about 5,500 residents, near the Canada-U.S. border in southeastern B.C.
“It was the best apple I’ve ever had,” said Chang, who graduated from the University of Sydney. Originally from Vancouver, Chang was recruited by Creston Valley Health Working Group as part of a mandatory two-year return of service contract due to his international schooling.
