According to a release, the departure of a numb​​​er of physicians over the past year led to challenges in maintaining clinical services.

“I would really like to thank the local teams for their commitment a​nd extraordinary effort while we were recruiting,” Dr. Stephanie Young, SHA Physician Executive with Integrated Northern Health said in a media release. “In addition, we thank the public for their understanding and for utilizing some of the alternate options that were available for services.”
