Horizon Health Network to set up temporary primary care clinic in Sackville

In reaction to the imminent loss of two family doctors who are closing their practices, the primary care clinic will aim to provide short-term primary medical care for about 2,000 affected patients. The clinic will work like the NB Health Link clinics in Moncton and Dieppe operated by Medavie while patients of the temporary Sackville clinic will remain on the provincial waiting list. A Rural Health Action Group has been involved with work on a possible permanent community clinic in Sackville and it's still exploring options with Horizon and other areas facing similar issues.
