King’s Road walk-in clinic in jeopardy
The doctors who run the Sydney Family Practice walk-in clinic on King’s Road are digging into their own pockets to keep the clinic open.
Dr. Reggie Sebastian tells the CBC after making appeals to their landlord and to the province, no help came, so the doctors will simply have to absorb the extra costs.
Sebastian says the clinic is in a “fragile” situation, because the other two doctors are older and semi-retired.
He says he has tried unsuccessfully to recruit other doctors for the clinic or to find less expensive space.
Nova Scotia Health says it continues to explore solutions to keep the clinic open and available.
