Local Doctors, Local Issues

We want to hear from physicians about what’s going on in their local area, what they are facing in their practices and what they and their patients need most.
Media coverage
AMA President Dr. Paul Parks and other physician leaders have been actively speaking to the media and providing interviews and insight as to the state of health care in our province and where solutions may lie.
