Crowd of 400 shows up to share experiences and talk health care in Sackville

On today’s show, local journalist Bruce Wark brings us highlights and voices from Thursday’s Community Healthcare Meeting, hosted by MLA Megan Mitton. About 400 people attended the meeting at the Tantramar Civic Centre for some “sober talk about the state of health care in New Brunswick.”

Horizon officials shared some key news about local health resources: A new nurse practitioner is expected to start working in June at the new Tantramar primary care clinic, and the Sackville Memorial Hospital emergency department could see expanded hours into the evening as early as this fall.

Special thanks to Bruce Wark for his coverage.
