Colwood, BC, hires family doctors as city employees to address physician shortage.

Colwood, a city on Vancouver Island, BC, is tackling its physician shortage with a pioneering pilot project, hiring family doctors as city employees for the first time in Canada. The doctors, including the first hire, Dr. Cassandra Stiller-Moldovan, will receive full benefits and work at the new Colwood Clinic, set to open soon. The city aims to hire eight doctors within three years. Funded by provincial revenues, the program focuses on supporting doctors' well-being rather than business operations.
