The number of people on the registry has ballooned, more than doubling since 2021.The Clare Health Centre expansion is expected to provide each resident of the municipality access to a primary care provider in the coming months.
The Clare Health Centre expansion is scheduled to open in summer 2024 as a result of a partnership between the facility, municipality and province. Once complete, the health centre will have 12 physicians, according to a statement from the Municipality of Clare. Thompson said the province is focused on initiatives like increasing the workforce through education as well as credential recognition, offering incentives to doctors who take on additional patients and working with municipalities on recruitment.
