Reduced hours at Taylor Medical Clinic due to physician shortage

The clinic was not open as usual on January 3^rd and 8^th, and it is scheduled to be closed again on the 10^th, 24^th, and 27^th. 

A note from the FSJ Medical Clinic explains, “Due to the Fort St. John doctor shortage it has become increasingly difficult to provide a doctor on each of the regular days there,” adding, “It is inevitable that there will continue to be days where no doctor is available.” 

Fort St. John has been facing a physician shortage for several months, which has led to days without the walk-in clinic open, and the temporary closure of the Travel Clinic. Northern Health is currently recruiting four General Practitioners for Fort St. John.
