HEALTH UPDATES
Our Family Physicians and staff are here for you and your family! We ARE available for you, and if you have a health concern, please do NOT keep it to yourself.

BC FAMILY MEDICINE CRISIS:
NONE OF OUR DOCTORS ARE ACCEPTING NEW PATIENTS
Currently none of the family doctors at NSMG are able to accept new patients. There is currently a crisis in Family Medicine here in BC. Family doctors need to be better supported for us to be able to provide care to the people of this province and this needs to be done urgently.
There is currently a Patient Advocacy Group called BCHealthcarematters. On their website you can find information about how you can help to advocate for family doctors. As family doctors we want to be able to provide care to patients - but we are stretched our limits and we cannot take on any more without support.
For more information, here is an article from the North Shore News that Dr. Lisa Gaede was interviewed for or read NSMG's latest Health Compass post.
