LINK-ED: Strengthening Rural Emergency Care

To support rural communities, Interior Health (IH) working with the Ministry of Health to explore a new way of delivering emergency care.

The IH LINK-ED pilot combines in-person and virtual physician support for patients needing emergency care overnight.

The goal?

• Reliable overnight access
• Better work-life balance for physicians
• Strong, dependable care for the communities that count on us

We are collaborating with physicians, nursing staff and community leaders in Lillooet, Princeton, Clearwater and Nakusp to pilot LINK-ED and assess its feasibility beginning this winter and into the new year.
