For $50 per night, a temporary, fully-furnished apartment near the hospital awaits
A new housing program aims to tackle the shortage of health professionals in Campbell River by offering low-cost temporary accommodation and a friendly welcome.
Health-care professionals will also receive welcome packages filled with products and services from local businesses.Campbell River, like other communities on the Island and elsewhere in B.C., is struggling to attract enough health-care professionals. The new initiative grew out of discussions between city officials and Dr. Jordyn Vanderveen, of the Campbell River and District Division of Family Practice, and Dr. Sol Gregory, of the Campbell River Medical Staff Engagement Initiative Society.
It is hoped that it will increase the likelihood of new physicians coming to Campbell River and providing relief for the existing physicians, she said. This will ensure “that patients are getting the best care possible.”
