Chetwynd Considers Doctor Recruitment Incentives
Residents heard a town hall briefing on a regional physician shortage in Chetwynd. Mayor Charlie Lasser outlined incentives such as housing support and lifestyle packages to attract family doctors, as hospital officials warned the problem spans Canada and affects small communities. Two new clinicians are expected from immigration by summer, while a weekend walk‑in clinic adds costs. Community scrutiny over an age 65 by‑law and Dr. Harding’s credentials sparked debate about hospital privileges and retention.
