NEW: Mallorytown, Ont. walk-in clinic set to close, leaving thousands without a doctor ottnews
That situation has hit the rural village of Mallorytown, Ont., west of Brockville, where its walk-in clinic will shut its doors on Jan. 20.
"I am very grateful to have this in our community," she said."Without having a family physician, this has literally been a lifesaver for me." The clinic is run by a company called Good Doctors. It provides virtual doctor visits with the help of a nurse. There is no doctor on site. "We have a lot of experience doing this and have around 700,000 patient encounters in Ontario," he added. Since it opened in September 2019, more than 3,000 people have used it.
"We have a crisis in the medical system as it is, so this is going to be an even bigger, worse crisis than what we've got," Cowan said. "It's a serious loss to the community and we'll have to start from scratch, but that's where we're intending to go with that," Haley said. Neither has heard back from the minister, but Clark has agreed to meet those affected in the community in the days ahead.
