Health Care shortages to impact on Lax Kw'alaams clinic over the summer

The Lax Kw'alaams Heath Centre has given a heads up to residents of the community of some challenges ahead for the summer as staffing shortages impact on the local centre.

Over the course of July and August, the Health Centre in the community will be down to two nurses, with the current shortage of nurses in the province identified as part of the issue for clinic.

The Centre will remain open for regular appointments during that period, however residents are advised to attempt to have any issues resolved during the business hours for the clinic, with the two nurses remaining also on call for 24 hours, over a 7 day a week period.

The full advisory can be reviewed here.
