After one doctor left and another doctor plans to resign, the Town of Leader faces a situation where they could only have one physician and one nurse practitioner by the end of September.

     Gordon Stueck, owner of Stueck Pharmacy, encourages everyone in the Leader area to attend a public meeting next week.  They will discuss the current physician shortage, and work on a doctor recruitment solution together as a community.

     Stueck says Cypress Health Region CEO Jim Hornell is also expected to attend the meeting, which is set to take place Tuesday night at 7:00pm from the Leader Community Centre.
