A pilot project at St. Joe's will see three doctors working in the urgent care centre also treat some high-risk patients.
The eligible patients include those with more than 1 chronic illnesses, those on blood thinners and women needing preventative healthcare like pap tests.
The six month program has seen 367 patients so far and anyone on the list waiting for a family doctor will be contacted starting with those at the top of the list.
Staff at the Horizon Health Network are optimist about recruiting several family doctors within the next year.
To add your name to the family doctor waitlist, call 648-6232.
