I would do almost anything to get a new GP who actually wants to help me, at a clinic that's still taking proper Covid precautions. Like, I'm tempted to move to Port Hardy just to be able to go to @NorthIslandCHC (except I can't because of my medical needs, but a girl can dream).
Mandatory masking no longer required in BC. Thanks but for the meantime no change for us.

All political parties could come together to support a physician assistant training program in BC. Common sense health care changes that improve care and use taxpayers money carefully. Status quo is not working.

Thanks @Chatelaine for printing this #HealthForAll excerpt. "Primary care in Canada should function like public schools...No one is left out...If we can design and implement universal access to public education, we can do the same for primary care." chatelaine.com/health/jane-ph…
