Medical Clinic North Shuswap

I am having an incredible bad time getting connected through my Telus stick. It is frustrating it drops part way through transmissions. Short of putting in a satellite internet connection (a total of about $4,000 in 3 year contract) I cannot get internet connection where I am, like many places in the North Shuswap.
THis is partially why I have not been diligent in sending Blogs.
Now the Clinic

The first meeting of people wanting to do something about our medical clinic and the general state of health in the North Shuswap; was appropriately held at the Scotch Creek Medical Clinic. There were 13 North Shuswapians from a variety of walks in life; to help with solving the problems of secure medical services on the sunny side of the Shuswap. I had received responses of interest from these people and Dr Janet Bates (who offered the Scotch Creek Medical Building as a meeting place) and arranged our first gathering.
The need for some local control with our medical services, has been borne out of the frustration of the many past years of losing Physicians, Nurses and the Clinic its self. Many people have gone to larger medical centers to assure themselves of a permanent Doctor, further weakening the support of the medical center out here. No wonder! In the last 10 years it has been a parade of medical specialists going through not only the Scotch Creek Clinic but the Chase Clinic as well. The group clearly seen a need for us; the North Shuswap residents to take control of our medical situation.
