Emergency room closures. Family doctor shortages. Wait times with devastating consequences. Staffing issues and unhealthy work environments. British Columbia is in a health care crisis, and the province’s rural communities are suffering the most.
Join us for Situation Critical: a free, online public town hall hosted by Anita Bathe with Belle Puri on September 20 that will address access to doctors, what’s not working and what needs to change.
