about 1 year agoInterior Health delivers a variety of services in Lytton, and we are in the midst of re-establishing these services after a 2021 wildfire destroyed the St. Bartholomew's Health Centre. We're committed to learning what is important to residents who live within the Lytton health service area. Share your ideas or experiences related to the health services IH delivers.

We noticed the shortage of Dr's within surrounding communities, which leads to E.R's closing. Is there a way there can be a live feed for what E.R's are open and estimated time waits? I know the Lower Mainland has an app for this! Thank you!

One potential solution to the issue of not having enough doctors could be to increase the number of nurse practitioner positions in the community. Nurse practitioners are trained to provide a wide range of healthcare services, including diagnosing and treating illnesses, prescribing medications, and providing preventative care. They can work independently or in collaboration with physicians, and can help to fill the gap in healthcare services when there is a shortage of doctors. Other potential solutions could include increasing funding for healthcare services in the community, providing incentives for doctors and other healthcare professionals to work in the area, and investing in telehealth and other technologies that can help to improve access to healthcare services.

I believe it is incredibly vital that the community have a Health Centre dedicated for primary and emergency care. Utilizing both physicians and NPs in this setting. Offering the opportunity for both professions to provide care for the community. With the increase risk of land erosion and the location in which Lytton is, the risk of being cut off from major health resources is incredibly high. One of several reasons why the community needs both primary and emergency care to continue.
