The last doctor is still undergoing CPSA practice readiness assessments and is anticipating to start working in March 2024.Despite the added physicians, there are still no clinics in Lethbridge accepting new patients, according to Primary Care Networks.
“You know the hospitals are overwhelmed. I'm at the hospital quite often and you can hear over the loudspeaker they're saying all hospital beds are taken. So it's really critical,” she said. “Just checked on the Primary Care Network and no clinic is accepting patients right now. In Lethbridge, Coaldale, Cardston, you know sort of areas around here,” said Muendel-Atherstone.
