Universal access to health care is a cherished Canadian tenet. Yet we do not have universal access to health care in Fort St John. 24,000 people in Fort St John and area do not have a family doctor. Many other medical professionals are also urgently needed. This medical staffing crisis undermines the very social fabric of our area. Paradoxically, Fort St John is expected to lead the economic fortunes of BC, despite the lack of basic health care services. 24,000 people without a family doctor is simply unacceptable.
